New Naira Notes: ’13 political parties’ threaten to pull out of elections if deadline extended

‘Thirteen’ opposition political parties in Nigeria have said they will withdraw from the forthcoming general elections if the Central Bank of Nigeria extends the deadline for the naira swap.

Only the leader of one of the parties addressed the press and he did not list the remaining 12 parties that he said were part of their coalition.

The parties, under the aegis of Coalition for Political Parties, made this known at a press conference in Abuja on Monday.
