It Is Time For Nigeria To Discard The Naira – Shehu Sani

Former Kaduna Central lawmaker, Shehu Sani has called for a single currency in all West African countries.

Sani opined that Ghana, Sierra leone and all French speaking West African countries should discard their respective currencies and come together to operate a single currency.

He argued that if Germany, Italy, Greece and France could set aside their strong currencies to achieve this feat then West Africa has no excuse in not also doing so to achieve economic prosperity.

Speaking via Twitter, Sani wrote, “Nigeria should discard the Naira.Ghana should discard the Cedi.Gambia should discard the Dalasi.Sierra leone should discard the Leone.All the French Speaking West Africa should discard the CFA.It’s time for West Africa to have a Single Currency.I still wonder why it’s so difficult to achieve this.

“If Germany,Italy,Greece and France can sacrifice their strong and historical currencies for the collective good of their continent,We have no reason not to sacrifice our territorial bank notes for our common economic prosperity.”

Military Should Explain Their Whereabouts When Crude Oil Was Stolen

Meanwhile, Sani has said the Nigerian military should be questioned about their whereabouts when the country’s crude oil is stolen from our coastal waters.

The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) made this known in a tweet via his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday.

Senator Sani said if Nigerians can’t accuse the military of stealing crude oil because of a lack of evidence, they should explain their location during the theft.

He wrote: “If we can’t accuse the military of stealing our crude oil because we don’t have evidence,at least we can question their whereabouts when our crude oil is stolen from our coastal waters.Those who can steal with a Ship can invade with a Ship.”
