Naira Redesign: ‘You Have Scattered The Country’ – Portable Drags Buhari

Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable has called out President Muhammadu Buhari over the lingering fuel and currency scarcity in the country.

Naija News understands that the introduction of the new notes by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and phase out of the old notes in a span of weeks, which took effect in December 2022, brought untold anguish and frustration on most Nigerians in the country.

Reacting to the development, Portable, in a video shared on his Instagram on Friday, lamented the fuel scarcity, hikes in food prices, and difficulty getting money in banks.

Portable further slammed those hoarding the new Naira notes, fuel attendants, POS workers and everyone making the country harder than it should.
