Akpabio Blames Emefiele for the Current Economic Difficulty

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, says the current administration led by President Bola Tinubu met the Nigerian economy in a mess which he claimed was caused by policies carried out by former governor of the Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele.

The Senate President spoke on Sunday during a thanksgiving service by Senator Barinada Mpigi in Koroma, Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State.

“So, by the time we went in to look at the economic situation of the country, it was terrible. You know that the former governor of the central bank, we did not even know what to charge him with. Whether to charge him for putting foam on top of the bill or to charge him for illegal possession of firearm or to charge him for printing notes without income, I don’t know what we are going to charge him with.

He noted that there is hunger today due to the policies and actions taken by Emefele and urged every political party to recognise that there is hunger, and the Government is battling to ensure that Nigerians sleep with their eyes closed.

Assuring that the government is making efforts to end insecurity and ensure that Nigerians feed well, the former Akwa Ibom State governor appealed to Nigerians to be patient as the rot over 60 years cannot be solved in six months
