A lawmaker of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator
Smart Adeyemi of Kogi State said seven days is too long for President Muhammadu
Buhari to deal with the currency crisis.
Adeyemi, a former president of the Nigeria Union of
Journalists, NUJ, made this disclosure to newsmen in Abuja.
He was reacting to President Buhari’s comment on Friday
where he stated that he needed seven days to address the challenges occasioned
by the Central of Nigeria’s implementation of the naira redesign policy.
Adeyemi said: “There is no room for anybody to want to run
Nigeria into trouble. We are gradually getting over the problem of PMS
scarcity, but this currency affects most of us. People need access to money. Do
you know how people are suffering?
“Mr President, thanks for your concern, but seven days is a
long time. It’s like a woman in a labour room, and you said she should continue
labour for seven days.
“Mr President, not all women in the labour room will survive
seven days. This problem is like a woman in the labour room, Mr President. This
is how the situation is. Nigerians are suffering. The majority who are poor are
languishing. Mr President, you have done your best whether anybody likes it or
not. Apart from the insecurity that has blundered other achievements, Buhari,
you have done your best.”
