Naira Scarcity: Why Is Bode George Blaming Atiku Instead Of Buhari? – Pearse

A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dr Adetokunbo Pearse, has berated former Deputy National Chairman, Bode George, for blaming the party leadership for the scarcity of fuel and new naira notes plaguing the nation.

Naija News reports that Bode George had accused the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, National Chairman Iyorchia Ayu and Campaign Director-General, Governor Aminu Tambuwal, for what he described as “conspiratorial silence”.

“Why have they allowed their voices to be drowned in conspiratorial silence? Where are the opposition political parties?”, he asked at a news conference.

Reacting to Bode’s submission during an interview with Daily Post, Pearse opined that the PDP chieftain outburst was misplaced.

He insisted that it was a pointless outcry, wondering the reason George was blaming the party’s flag bearer and leadership instead of President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

Pearse noted that it would only be fair to critically assess and scrutinize the policies actions or inactions of the government in power and not the opposition.

He said: “Atiku already denouced the shortage of currency in circulation, and the Buhari administration’s policy on production, marketing and distribution of oil products.

“It appears that Chief Bode George is unable to understand that not everyone in political leadership position is responsible for commenting national issues.

“The only thing that Chief George knows how to do in his old age is talk. He is a frustrated man whose bitterness will not allow him to see anything good about Atiku or PDP.

“Here is a man who for eight years could not bring himself to criticize the Buhari administration because – as he said – Buhari was his superior in the military!”
