The well-known outspoken Catholic priest and Chaplain of Adoration Chaplaincy, Uke Enugu, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka, has warned that the current new naira note crisis will mar the forthcoming general elections if the scarcity of the notes was not addressed and fixed as soon as possible.
Mbaka who made the revelation during the First Sunday ministration at Adoration Ground lamented that President Muhammadu Buhari’s government and the All-Progressives Congress, APC, did not implement the currency policy at a better time until they saw that the President’s tenure was approaching its end.
Regretting that there was no justification for the unimaginable crisis and hardship the administration had caused to Nigeria’s economy and livelihoods of Nigerians, Fr Mbaka asked, “Do you think that if this situation continues, Nigerians will do election?”
Mbaka had then lamented that there was no justification for the hardship the present administration had caused Nigerians
“Do you think that if this situation persists, the elections will hold” he had asked?
“Imagine where people will suffer to make money and still suffer to collect their money. I am giving both the President and the CBN governor a directive from heaven, if they don’t want to react immediately and quit this self-imposed hardship on the citizens, they will suffer.”
