How opposition parties are hamstringing Buhari from ending cash crunch – Minister

The Nigerian government on Tuesday in Abuja accused some opposition parties of legally hamstringing President Muhammadu Buhari from providing relief for Nigerians suffering agonies of cash crunch resulting from naira redesign.

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed leveled the accusation at the 23rd edition of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s (PMB) administration scorecard series (2015-2023).

The programme was put in place to showcase the achievements of the Buhari administration.

The Tuesday’s edition of the scorecard series featured the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar-Farouk.

In his opening remarks, Mohammed said the Federal Government was mindful of the inconveniences being endured by citizens as a result of the redesigning of the naira notes and fuel supply disruptions.

He said government was working assiduously to restore normalcy to the two critical enablers of economic activities and would take added measures, where necessary, to alleviate the pains of Nigerians.

The minister recalled that after a meeting with governors of his All Progressives Congress (APC), the president urged Nigerians to give him a seven-day window to resolve hiccups in the implementation of the new naira scheme.

Mohammed said it was surprising that some opposition political parties ran to court to obtain an injunction restraining the president and the CBN from extending the Feb. 10 deadline for Nigerians to exchange their old notes for new ones.

“The court action came after a number of opposition parties threatened to boycott the 2023 general elections if the deadline was extended.

“These curious actions by the parties concerned are clear evidence that the opposition has turned this whole issue into a political game, preferring to make Nigerians suffer more on the altar of an unconscionable political gamesmanship.

“Or how else can one explain the fact that these unscrupulous opposition parties do not want any action that could reduce the pains being experienced by Nigerians?’’ he queried.

Mohammed said the opposition parties were playing dirty politics by putting their interests over and above the interests of Nigerians.

He said the desperate actions would not save the political parties from losing at the polls because voters had already seen that they were the real enemies of the people.

Mohammed assured that notwithstanding the antics of opposition political parties, government would take decisive steps to bring succour to Nigerians in the shortest possible time.
