“Stop Using Poor Masses As An Excuse…..” – Singer Peter Okoye Sl@ms APC Governors Over New Naira Note Scarcity (Details)

Prior to the general election, singer Peter Psquare wrote an open letter to the APC Governors.

As the general elections of 2023 draw near, more celebrities are speaking out and the discourse over the elections is getting more heated.

Peter Psquare criticized the APC Governors’ desperation in a post on his Instagram story in response to the CBN’s recent decision to redesign the naira.

The post also accused the APC of causing hardship for over 133 million Nigerians and suggesting that the Governors are using poor masses as an excuse to avoid admitting their own personal financial motivations.

“Dear APC Governors, are you telling us that hardship started in Nigeria when CBN redesigned the naira? The same APC has put over 133 million Nigerians in multidimensional poverty in it 8 years. Its just 5 days to the elections. What’s with the desperation?” he noted.

“Dear APC Governors, we the Nigerian people are not complaining about the policy. As s matter of fact, we are so used to the hardship APC has brought upon us. We actually stand with Buhari and Emefiele on the one. We still have #50, #100, and #200 notes in circulations! Desperados!”

“APC Governors should stop using poor masses as an excuse and tell President Buhari the truth that they stashed money in higher denominations and they will turn to tissue papers if he insist the policy.

In the post which seemed passionate, the artist implored Nigerians to firmly reject any form of vote buying, and to steadfastly uphold the sanctity of their voting rights.

“Dear Nigerians pls SAY NO TO VOTE Buying!, Peter Psquare said.
