Shehu Sani Blasts Ganduje For Closing Supermarket Over Old Naira Notes

Former Nigerian lawmaker, Shehu Sani lashed out at Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje for shutting down of a shopping complex over refusal to accept old Naira notes.

According to Sani, the punishment was too harsh.

The statement was contained in a post via his verified Twitter handle on Sunday.

Recall that the Kano Consumer Protection Council, KCPC, had, on the instruction of Ganduje, shut down the WellCare shopping complex for refusing to accept old Naira notes.

KCPC said WellCare supermarket refused to accept old naira notes from customers against instruction by the State government to continue accepting them.

The council also said that legal action would be taken against the supermarket.

However, Sani has described the treatment meted out to the supermarket as repressive.

“Kano State shutting down a Mall because of the rejection of old Naira notes is repressive,” he tweeted.
