On Thursday, the governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-rufai, alleged that the scarcity of the naira and fuel shortage are part of a plot to disrupt the elections in order to ensure an interim government takes over. In a statement, the Governor went further to tell the people of Kaduna State, that it was important for them to know that contrary to the public pronouncements and apparent good intentions, the naira redesign policy was conceived and sold to the President by officials who completely lost out in the Gubernatorial and Presidential Primaries of the APC in June 2022.
