Abuja, Feb. 18, 2024 – Godswill Akpabio, the Senate President, on Sunday said Nigerians should blame Godwin Emefiele, the embattled Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), for the current economic situation of the country.
Akpabio, who was speaking at a function in Abuja, said Nigerians should not blame the current administration for the economic woes, but Emefiele’s bad policies and actions.
He said the Emefiele left multiple debts and economic mess for the current administration.
“The kind of debts and economic mess that we are in, a lot of people do not understand.
“President Obama said you cannot know Washington until you get to Washington, so by the time we went in to look at the economic situation of the country, it was terrible.
“So, you know the former Governor of Central Bank, we don’t even know what to charge him with.
“The hunger in the land is because of the kind of policies and actions that they took.
“We are battling to make sure that Nigerians can sleep with their eyes closed. We are battling to ensure that Nigerians can afford three square meals in a day.” (GBN)
