Former Nigerian lawmaker, Shehu Sani has called out Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje for Closing down a shopping complex over their refusal to accept old Naira notes.
Sani made the statement in a post via his verified Twitter handle on Sunday, adding that the punishment was too harsh.
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.
