Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said the current fuel scarcity and naira shortage is a plan by certain elements to thwart Bola Tinubu’s victory on February 25th.
This was said by Mr Gbajabiamila on Tuesday in Lagos during the commencement of the second phase of the “Gbaja Ride” transportation programme for his Surulere constituents.
His words: “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.
He claimed that the new naira banknotes strategy was well-intentioned but had unluckily been politicised by some individuals who wanted to prevent Bola Tinubu from becoming the country’s next president.
“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,” said Mr Gbajabiamila.
He added, “I have followed the campaign team to the East, North and everywhere with Asiwaju, and I doff my hat for Nigerians.”
