Tinubu Forced The Extension Of Naira Swap To Prevent Nigeria From Exploding – Group

Nigerian group, Arewa4Asiwaju has come out to hail Bola Tinubu for speaking up against the January 31 deadline initially set for the swap of the old naira notes for the redesigned ones.

The group recently had its say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to Arewa4Asiwaju, Tinubu’s declaration at Abeokuta, Ogun State forced the Federal Government to extend the January 31 deadline to February 10, and he should be appreciated for saving Nigeria with that move.

It added that Tinubu saved the nation from going up in flames following the anger which pervaded the atmosphere before the sudden 10-day extension.

It read, “Whether anyone wants to believe it or not, it is the courageous sagacity displayed by Tinubu that invariably saved the Nigerian commoner from suffering the pains of the initial timeline set by the Federal Government for the unpopular new currency swap.”

“And by that singular action, Tinubu also saved the nation from going up in flames as consequence of the raging public anger that pervaded the atmosphere before the sudden 10-day extension.”

“Tinubu, proving himself a great statesman, in his now famous Abeokuta declaration, took the bold and necessary step of alerting to the dangers inherent in the new naira policy, its timing and deadline.”

“Apparently rattled, the President invited Asiwaju to Daura where the man stood his ground insisting the policy was unnecessary, unpopular and would only harm the common man and lead to greater conflict.”

“The nation certainly owe Tinubu immense gratitude for stepping in and risking everything to save an obviously bad situation.”
