Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has alleged that banks are hoarding the redesigned Naira notes for politicians in the February elections.<\/p>\n

There has been outrage across the country over the scarcity of new notes as banks continue to dispense the old notes despite the approaching deadline.<\/p>\n

The Central Bank of Nigeria, which earlier directed that the old notes be phased out on January 31, had urged customers to persuade banks for the new notes.<\/p>\n

Less than 11 days to the deadline, customers are yet to access the notes in banks.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the matter, Shehu Sani in a tweet on Saturday alleged that politicians are conniving with banks to hoard the new notes for the February election.<\/p>\n

According to him, the refusal of the banks to release the notes defeated the ultimate aim of the redesigning.<\/p>\n

He wrote, \u201cBanks are hoarding the new currency from the public with the intent of making it available for politicians next month to be able to buy votes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ultimate aim of redesigning the national currency is defeated\u201d.<\/p>\n
