El-Rufai, 2 other APC governors sued Buhari for personal benefits — Melaye

The spokesman for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council, Dino Melaye, alleged on Tuesday that the recent lawsuit filed by some All Progressives Congress (APC) governors against President Muhammadu Buhari over the redesign of the naira notes had selfish motives.

Three APC governors— Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna), Yahaya Bello (Kogi), and Bello Matawalle (Zamfara) had on Monday approached the Federal High Court, Abuja, to restrain the president and the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, from further implementation of the policy on naira redesign.

Melaye, who reacted to the development in a statement, said the governors filed the suit for fear of losing in the forthcoming elections.
