Thirteen political parties out of the 18 political parties in Nigeria on Monday threatened to withdraw the February 25 and March 11 election if the Central Bank of Nigeria extends the deadline of February 10 for naira swap.
At a briefing by a coalition of chairmen of political parties on Monday, the “13 parties” commended President Muhammadu Buhari on the redesign of the N200, N500 and N1,000 banknotes and also insisted that the policy must stand
The parties also knocked the Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara state governments for heading to the Supreme Court to get court injunction to extend the deadline for the validity of three old notes.
