Nigeria Is Slowly Heading Towards Anarchy – Tinubu

APC Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu has come out to hail governors in the 36 states of the federation for defending the masses over the controversial Central Bank Naira redesign and cashless policies.

This was recently disclosed in a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday by the Director of Media and Publicity for APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the governors, especially the ones governing the APC states who instituted the suit against the FG and CBN at the Supreme Court, have acted well on behalf of the hapless Nigerian masses who have been made to bear the brunt of Naira redesign policy.

He added that Nigeria is dangerously careering toward anarchy and political and economic shutdown if the current situation is not resolved.

His words, “I want to salute the courage of our governors, especially the Progressives Governors in APC, who acted to save our country from avoidable and dangerous political crises and social unrest, which the Central Bank policy on new Naira notes has brought on our country.”

“Our country was dangerously careering toward anarchy and political and economic shutdown. But with the Supreme Court interim ruling our country has been pulled back from the precipice. We thank our Supreme Court Justices for ruling wisely on the side of the people who have been subjected to undue agony and pain since this policy was announced.”

“The Federal Government and relevant stakeholders can now sit down and work out better framework on how to proceed with the new policy without causing any social and economic disruption and inconvenience to our people. We have examples of other countries that have successfully and seamlessly changed their currencies to learn from.”

“Those countries give a long time, at least 12 months to effect the currency change. They do not engage in a CBN-like Fire Brigade approach. We have seen how a good policy can be poorly implemented to cause unintended problems for the people who should be the beneficiaries. While lessons have been learnt, we must now move on as a country and people with a Renewed Hope for a better tomorrow.”

“The sole aim of my running to be the president of our country is to make life better and more abundant for our people and this is an ideal for which I will remain eternally committed to.”
