February 15, 2023FCT REC said the ability of the INEC to conduct the general election may be hampered by the CBN’s cashless policy.
Bello said the ability of the INEC to conduct the general election may be hampered by the CBN’s cashless policy. The Supreme Court had on February 8 restrained the federal government from enforcing the cash swap deadline of the Central Bank of Nigeria following the suit by the governments of Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara states challenging the currency policy.
Meanwhile, Bello while speaking in Abuja at the North-Central stakeholders’ roundtable on the 2023 general elections, organised by the Centre for Transparency Advocacy , said the commission needs cash to enable it to coordinate security and logistics, and that the scarcity of the naira may affect this.
“Before election day, we are going to deploy the service providers. On the night of Friday in the FCT, we have more than 12, 000 ad-hoc staff that we are going to give cash to.
No money 💷 no elections
So the New Naira note has suddenly become a dog that bites and na only INEC e come bite waoooo
That one concerns them They know their ways
What do they need cash for? All government agencies and independent should make use of bacs!
