“It wasn’t deliberate” – Buhari gives reason for Naira redesign policy
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has said his decision to redesign the naira wasn’t delibrate.
According to him, the policy implemented by a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, gave Nigeria a cleaner election in 2023.
The former President maintained that those who had a problem with the policy were individuals who had too much money.
Under the book’s 12th chapter, the former President said,

“There is no denying that the naira redesign policy gave us cleaner elections. It was people who had too much money that had problems with it.

“Some APC governors went to court. I refused to judge people by my own standard…”
