The Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council has accused the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu, of sabotaging the system by intercepting and diverting millions of new Naira notes meant for distribution to Nigerians.
The campaign organisation also stated that Tinubu is the real enemy of Nigerians and not the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, as Tinubu alleges.
The spokesperson for the campaign council, Kola Ologbondiyan, made the allegations through a statement on Friday.
Ologbondiyan further alleged that Tinubu is the mastermind of the new Naira notes crunch; making the people to suffer untold hardship.

The statement partly read: “The Campaign alerts Nigerians of a high-level criminal racket through which Tinubu is reported to have been sabotaging the system, intercepting and diverting millions of new Naira notes meant for distribution to Nigerians for his selfish ‘Emilokan’ purposes.
“It is indeed despicable that Tinubu, knowing that he has been exposed of being criminally responsible for the biting cash crunch on Nigerians, is seeking to divert public attention from his heinous crime by criticising Atiku Abubakar’s widely applauded patriotic call for the extension of currency swap deadline.
“Our campaign challenges the APC presidential candidate to come clean on allegations that he has been using his various criminal special purpose vehicle companies as well as fraudulent officials in some APC-led states to intercept and mop up cash to the detriment of millions of Nigerians.”
