Naira Scarcity: Emefiele Plotting To Scuttle 2023 Elections – Tinubu Group

Southwest Agenda for Asiwaju Tinubu (SWAGA), a support group for the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has made a heavy allegation against the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.

Speaking on Monday at an event in Akure, the Ondo State capital, SWAGA National Coordinator, Senator Dayo Adeyeye, accused Emefiele must be plotting to scuttle next week’s general election.

The former Minister of State for Works said the currency swap policy introduced by Emiefele was taking a toll on ordinary Nigerians, adding that the currency swap was based on an ulterior motive to scuttle the polls.

He said the shortage of naira notes across the country needs to be tackled through the solution provided by the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu.

Adeyeye, however, expressed optimism that Tinubu would emerge victorious at the polls, said the punishment imposed on Nigerians by the CBN was unnecessary.

He said: “With the situation, they have inflicted pain on Nigerians. Emefiele should heed Asiwaju’s suggestion to solve the situation.

“Emefiele has become the most controversial and partisan CBN governor in the history of Nigeria. He has become extremely controversial.

“Either he (Emefiele) likes it or not, the people of Nigeria know what is going on. Tinubu will win this election.

“We want to commend the ordinary people, particularly the market women, who understand the issue so well.”
