Fakoyejo OlalekanThe Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has stated that the recent fuel and Naira scarcity is a ploy against President Muhammadu Buhari and the Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.
He made this known at the launch of “Gbaja ride” – the second phase of a transport initiative to empower Gbajabiamila’s Surulere constituents – on Tuesday, 14 February 2023.
Gbajabiamila disclosed that the fuel and Naira scarcity was created by some elements to affect the success of Buhari’s tenure which comes to an end in May 2023.
The Speaker also stated that the fuel scarcity and the chaos that ensued from the Naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) were made to prevent Tinubu from winning the Presidential election on 25 February 2023.
“Nobody can convince me that it is not a plot to stop Asiwaju from becoming the president of this country.
“But I am glad that our God is a wonderful being, as the plot these people sat together to hatch he has intervened,” NAN quoted Gbajabiamila.
The lawmaker also told his Surulere constituents that he feels their pain amid the fuel and Naira scarcity, and the House of Representatives is working to cushion the hardship.
“As your representative and speaker, I have a good understanding of the current hardships and discomfort being faced by many Nigerians, without exception to my constituents.
“The lower legislative chamber under my leadership has been on the side of the people, working tirelessly to rescue them from these difficulties.
“I am glad that the judiciary has also confirmed our position on the implementation of the policy of naira redesign.”
Meanwhile, Prime Business Africa had reported that Tinubu had also stated that the current crisis is a ploy to reduce his chances at the Presidential election.
