2023 Polls: Tinubu to become biggest beneficiary of naira redesign, fresh facts emerge

An emerging report has confirmed that Bola Tinubu, the All Progressive Congress (APC)'s presidential candidate, might be the biggest beneficiary of the naira redesign policy implemented by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The report was made by some APC chieftains while reflecting on the current scarcity of the naira and its aftermath in the build-up to the Saturday, February 25th presidential polls.

As reported by Punch Newspaper, some of the chieftains said that Tinubu having the guts to challenge the CBN policy openly was a sign of his love for the masses and, in turn, the act could earn him sympathy votes at the presidential polls.

Senator Adesoji Akanbi, a close ally of Tinubu, said: “It might end up favouring Asiwaju that they were targeting. A lot of people are realising that it is all because of him. It is becoming a rhythm. There will be sympathy votes because people believe it is targeted at him, and the mere fact that he said it out that he was against the policy. That will be like a bonus for him.”

Senator Akanbi also revealed that the recent outcome of Tinubu's rally and turnout of supporters indicated that he is loved and admired by the people and could earn the winning spot at the presidential polls.
