Naira Redesign: El-Rufai's Show of Sympathy for Masses is Deceitful - PDP Vanguard 

Group under umbrella of People's Democratic Party(PDP) National Youth Vanguard, North-West Zone has described Kaduna State Governor,Mal.Nasir El-Rufai as betrayal of the highest order, who is trying to show sympathy to the masses,whom he deprived necessities of live.

Recalled three governors,  Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, his counterpart in Kogi, Yahaya Bello and Bello Matawalle of Zamfara had sued the FG before the Supreme Court over the scarcity of the new naira notes and the short deadline issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria had generated tension in the country.

The claim that he, El-Rufai  and his colleagues took the Federal Government to the Supreme Court over the new naira swap policy to save the country is nothing but a vain deciet  and a game of pulling wool over our eyes of Nigerians  for selfish interests .

The PDP group,  which queried  the rationale behind  El-Rufai's acclaimed sudden love for  the same  masses, he demolished houses they lived  and markets they eke their living is questionable and laughable.

In a press statement signed by the Zonal  Coordinator of People's Democratic Party Vanguard , N/W zone, Hon. Ibrahim Ahmadu the group said, "El-Rufai can't be  a voice for the masses now, having displayed overt hatred for them during his seven years reign as Kaduna Governor."

The group further asked ," Where on earth was El-Rufai's voice when innocent students and people of Kaduna were kidnapped and killed on several occasions?

It equally said, "Nigerians should ask El-Rufai ,if he was blind to the problem of petroleum scarcity that hitherto has affected cost of transportation and food across the country and the rampant killings and kidnaping of residence of the State  under his watch as the Chief Security officer, without any serious and proactive measures to stop the problems.

"So,We are surprised that he suddenly woke up and developed sympathy for same people he sacked from work and failed to pay their gratuities;  pensions  and other  entitlements .

"This is a Governor who has collected over 500 million dollars loans on behalf of generation unborn  with no valid and sustainable means to pay such after leaving office.

"You can't claim to be a voice of the people you  used your administration to destroy their means of livelihood.

"Those who think he cared for the people should ask him what he did with money of the  property of civil servants sold; Federal Allocation, bailout funds, ecological funds and Internally Generated Revenues over the past seven years.

"We also asking him to tell Kaduna people how much he built roads and who are the consultants.

"He who comes into equity, must come with clean hands .Someone who is heartless and high-handed does not have the moral right to stand and speak for the masses"

However, the group urged the federal government and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to shun the so called Supreme Order of El-Rufai and his cohorts and put all necessary measures to cushion the effect of the naira redesign after the February 10 deadline .
