Meanwhile, barely 48 hours after advising President Muhammadu Buhari against going ahead with his scheduled visit to Kano State today (Monday), the Governor of Kano State, Umar Ganduje, has made a u-turn, saying that the state is now prepared to receive him. 

Governor Ganduje led a delegation of critical stakeholders from the state to meet President Buhari in his country home in Daura, Katsina State on Sunday after which he revealed the change of position to State House correspondents.

Ganduje, had in an interactive session with critical stakeholders in the state, revealed that his government had requested the President to postpone the trip, saying that the state was deeply concerned about the hardship principally induced by the ongoing cash swap from old to redesigned notes. He said the decision was taken to avoid any unforeseen circumstance.

Despite Ganduje’s objection, President Buhari had, however, insisted on going ahead with the visit.

After meeting Mr President on Sunday Governor Ganduje affirmed that he led the delegation to Daura over the issue of the ongoing currency swap and was happy with him.
