Some South-West senators in the All Progressive Congress have criticised the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, over his comment on the extension of the deadline for the return of the old naira notes.
The Kogi senator added, “When has Atiku ever commiserated with Nigerians over the killings caused by insecurity; he has never had the interests of Nigerians at heart. He was part of those who brought us to this place where we have found ourselves.
Decrying the hardship facing Nigerians over the scarcity of the naira, Adeola said, “It is too early in the year for people to be going through all of this. What is happening is pathetic and I want to believe that it is majorly wrong advice of policy by whosoever is advising Mr President or the economic team of this country that this should be done at this time.
“As widely reported in the media, he has asked for seven days, that’s like Wednesday or Thursday . So, he should come out with a definite position on how the country should be going forward.” “I don’t know how that is possible. Looking at the figure out there that we have about three trillion old naira notes and we have printed less than N300bn of the new naira notes, looking at the disparity alone, the CBN should know that it’s something that should be done gradually at least for the next one year,” he added.
