The camp of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has debunked the claim of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party that he is hoarding billions of new notes in certain states ahead of the general elections.
This was disclosed in a statement issued in Abuja on Monday by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Mahmud Jega.
The reaction was coming hours after the PDP, through its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, called on Tinubu and governors of APC states to immediately release the billions of new notes allegedly in their custody.
While describing the allegation as spurious and devilish, Jega stated that Nigerians have come to identify Tinubu as the ‘champion of the voiceless and underprivileged’ which could also be seen in the manner he challenged the Central Bank of Nigeria to extend the deadline and end the public suffering.
