The 13 parties condemn APC governors that went to court to seek an injunction to extend the naira swap deadline.

13 political parties have threatened to withdraw from the forthcoming general elections if the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) extends February 10 deadline for the naira swap.

The 13 parties at a briefing on Monday, February 6, 2023, commended President Muhammadu Buhari on the redesign of the N200, N500, and N1,000 banknotes.

They said they won’t participate in the election if the deadline as demanded by some governors on the platforms of the ruling All Progressives Congress is shifted.
