According to Atiku vote riggers aim to push the CBN to extend the date till after the 25 February and 11 March general elections to achieve their aims.

The former vice president asked the apex bank to immediately examine the measures it has put in place to ensure the circulation of the new naira notes and ease the difficulty currently faced by Nigerians, mainly the rural dwellers.
