Naira Redesign: Elections Will Hold – Presidency 

The Presidency said the forthcoming 2023 general elections will hold, regardless of the controversies surrounding the naira swap policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.

President Buhari’s spokesperson, Garba Shehu stated this in a statement made available to newsmen on Friday.

Shehu said there are no plans by President Buhari to extend his government beyond May 29, 2023, or install an interim government.

According to Shehu, the talk of an interim government and truncation of democracy is way off the mark.

“Those who peddle it stand to gain nothing—nothing at all—but the creation of panic and the incitement of the public against the federal government,” the statement read.

The President’s spokesperson however, described the narrative as a dangerous dimension by “people who are afraid that they may lose their elections.”
