Ahead of Saturday’s presidential poll, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari to comply with the Supreme Court’s injunction aimed at easing the prevailing cash crunch in the polity.
The position was widely endorsed by the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and members of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF), led by Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State, after an emergency meeting held at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, yesterday.
APC’s National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, who briefed reporters on the outcome of the meeting held behind closed-doors, said it behooves the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to wade in on the issue.
