Naira Crisis: Nobody Can Convince Me It’s Not A Plot Against Tinubu – Gbajabiamila
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has said the current fuel and naira scarcity is a plot against the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.
According to him, some elements have deliberately created a crisis around the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) cashless policy just to stop Tinubu from winning the presidential election.
Naija News reports that the Speaker made the assertion on Tuesday in Lagos during the launching of the second phase of a transport initiative called “Gbaja ride”.
He explained that no one can convince him that the new naira crisis is not a plot to fight Tinubu’s presidential bid.
He was, however, glad that the elements behind the alleged plot have been put to shame because God has intervened in the matter.
The Speaker further alleged that the incessant fuel and naira scarcity of naira notes were carefully orchestrated by some elements to as well slow down the successes of the President, Muhammadu Buhari‘s administration.
He said “Nobody can convince me that it is not a plot to stop Asiwaju from becoming the president of this country.
“But I am glad that our God is a wonderful being, as the plot these people sat together to hatch he has intervened.
“I have followed the campaign team to the East, North and everywhere with Asiwaju and I doff my hat for Nigerians.”
Concerning the issue of the cash crunch, he also told the people of his constituency that “The lower legislative chamber under my leadership has been on the side of the people, working tirelessly to rescue them from these difficulties.
“I am glad that the judiciary has also confirmed our position on the implementation of the policy of naira redesign.”
