Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State has put on hold his campaign rallies for his second-term ambition until further notice.<\/p>\n

This followed violent protests which rocked Ilorin the state capital on Wednesday as a result of residents\u2019 frustration over the naira swap policy.<\/p>\n

Five suspects were arrested by police in connection with the disturbances which spread across the state capital.<\/p>\n

In a special broadcast to the people of the state at 5 pm in Ilorin, the capital of the state, on Wednesday, Governor Abdulrazaq, expressed sincere sympathy with the citizens on the continuous scarcity of the naira as a result of the recent CBN\u2019s currency redesign.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cfor clarity, the Supreme Court has granted an injunction that allows the old and the new notes to coexist. This injunction is still valid until the highest court rules otherwise.<\/p>\n

I, therefore, want all of you to be calm, law-abiding, and peaceful. Let us not attack one another or destroy one another\u2019s properties.\u201d<\/p>\n

He appealed to the citizens to remain calm and peaceful, and not give in to any frustrations or engage in any form of violence.<\/p>\n

Governor Abdulrazaq testified to the inconvenience the development has brought on the populace and asserted: \u201cWe are in this together, and I assure you that this will be over in the shortest possible time. I really appreciate your patience.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then declared: \u201cIn solidarity with the mood of the public, I\u2019m putting my public rallies on hold until further notice.\u201d<\/p>\n
