The Senate President of Nigeria, Godswill Akpabio, believes that the current difficulties in the country are a result of specific monetary policies and decisions made by the former CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele.
Akpabio expressed his views during a function in Abuja on Sunday, stating that Emefiele left behind a significant amount of debt and economic challenges for the current administration to deal with.
The former governor of Akwa Ibom State mentioned that the government is currently deciding which allegations to pursue against Emefiele, considering the various wrongdoings that occurred during his time as CBN governor.
He said, “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.”
