Redesign Policy Targeted At Some Individuals, Stirring Violence, Could Mar Elections – Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike believes that the New Naira redesign policy was designed to undo some people and that it has sparked violence and has the potential to disrupt the upcoming elections.

Governor Wike stated in a media chat following the President’s national broadcast on Thursday morning that the timing suggests that the redesign policy has a political component.

“As far as I am concerned, I believe that this policy is targeted at some people,” Wike stated, noting especially that his inference becomes more valid because the government has said one major aim to the policy is to curb vote buying.

When asked if he might be one of those targeted, the governor replied, “that cannot affect us” adding that there is no reason for him to engage in vote buying seeing that his works as governor are glaring and the people of Rivers State can attest to what has been accomplished.

“You can see that the people are with us, what are we going to do with vote buying,” Wike asked rhetorically.

Speaking further about the policy’s impact on the upcoming elections, the Rivers State governor stated that what he and his counterparts have been attempting to avoid is a situation in which violence erupts during the implementation of the policy, resulting in the cancellation or postponement of the election.

According to him, this is why people are saying that “all these things are targeted for people to be angry and to be violent and at the end of the day, the election will not take place”.

He emphasized that these are only hypotheses, and that the governors believe that this can be avoided because every Nigerian is interested in the upcoming elections and the formation of a new government.
