The CBN's Naira redesign policy has continue to cause excruciating pain to Nigerians in all walks of life, most especially the poor and the middle class.
One will expect the opposition PDP to be in the forefront of the fight against the said policy as a policy of a rival government and very close to the general elections.
But in a surprising twist of event PDP and its co travellers amongst the so called mushroom political parties are in the forefront supporting the federal government and even calling on the President to not give in to blackmail.
It can be recalled how some opposition parties teamed up and demanded an expertee motion from the Federal High Court in Abuja to bar the FG through the CBN from extending the February 10 deadline for the acceptance of the old notes.
For over seven years the opposition parties where known to criticise any policy of the Buhari administration regardless of how good and or important the policy seems, but all of a sudden Atiku Abubakar and other major opposition figures are now supporting Buhari and hailing him for a job Weldon.
Abuja Network News has uncovered that the PDP has secured billions of the new Naira notes and intended to use same in a massive vote buying scheme.
The PDP using it's connections in the CBN has acquired more of the new notes than anyone can imaging and they believe they have acquired enough to give them an edge over the ruling APC and they are willing to out spent the APC in any way.
That's why Atiku and the PDP are in support of the policy, knowing it will give them an edge.
It could be recalled that Abuja Network News has reported penultimate week ago how some top PDP chieftains smuggled N50 billion new notes out of the CBN coffers which was later found to be part of a N120 billion loan facility belonging to Delta State Government.
