Atiku an opportunist, seeks to capitalise on naira crisis – Sowore

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has knocked the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, over his (Atiku’s) stance on the naira crisis ravaging the country.

Sowore said Atiku was an opportunist who thought he could capitalise on the “poverty-inducing” naira redesign policy to win the presidential election.

The publisher of Sahara Reporters stated this in a tweet posted to his Twitter handle on Monday morning.

Sowore alleged that the naira redesign policy was “fraud” targeted at hurting “poor Nigerians.”

“Opportunistic @atiku thought he could capitalise on the poverty-inducing Naira Design to win election. Any real leader would have known that ‘naira design’ fraud was gonna […] hurt poor Nigerians. Reason I keep saying there is no difference. He’s coming to sell everything,” Sowore tweeted.

Sowore is reacting to Atiku’s new stance that the CBN naira redesign policy is hurting poor Nigerians after having supported the policy in an earlier stance.
