The Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU) said Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, and a gang of APC governors who bent on reversing the controversial Naira redesign should be investigated.
He added that the desperation of El-Rufai is not ordinary and therefore should be investigated.
In a press statement signed and made available to our reporter by the Union’s spokesperson, Luka Biniyat also appeal to the public not to be charmed by El-Rufai’s bravado towards the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Federal Government as a genuine act of concern to the citizens state.
“He cannot hide under the cover of the suffering we are going through as a result of the new Naira policy and wage his war,” said Biniyat.
Also, the statement pointed out that if Federal Government did not find immediate measures to cater for millions people, a good percentage of the voting population will not be able to vote because of transportation challenges and other financial implications associated with the voting.
SOKAPU, who registered its fears and concern towards the 2023 general elections, said they are yet to get assurance that INEC can handle logistics in the movements of election material and take care of its ad-hoc staff under the situation that we have found ourselves.
“However it suffice to say that Southern Kaduna stands for a free, fair and credible elections. If the inconveniences and suffering caused by the new Naira policy is truly to stop vote buying and other criminality during the forthcoming elections, it is an inconvenience that we should bear for the meantime until after elections.
“Southern Kaduna has gone through extreme suffering, abuse and suppression in the past eight years impossible to imagine under modern times. We cannot therefore afford taking the risk of opposing any measure that will ensure that we elect leaders of our choice; not a leader that will be foisted on us through corruption to continue with the ongoing abuse of office,” the statement added.
