Buhari pleads for patience amid Naira crisis, backs Tinubu

President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed for patience from Nigerians amidst the hardship caused by the new naira policy by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The policy has been causing chaos across the country, especially after the President announced that old N500 and N1000 notes would no longer be legal tender. Speaking from Ethiopia, where he attended the African Union summit, Buhari assured Nigerians that the policy is meant to improve the economy and that he is fully aware of the hardship they are facing. The President called on Nigerians to exercise further patience as the government takes appropriate measures to ease their hardships, adding that there will be light at the end of the tunnel.

In a video released by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari also urged Nigerians to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in the upcoming presidential election. The President praised Tinubu for his commitment to the development of the country and the well-being of its people, stating that he is a true believer in Nigeria who loves the people and the country’s development. Buhari emphasized that Tinubu is reliable and trustworthy, and he trusts that Tinubu will build on the APC’s achievements.

As Nigerians face the hardship caused by the new naira policy, Buhari’s appeal for patience is important. It is essential that the government takes appropriate measures to ease the hardships and ensure that the policy achieves its intended purpose of improving the economy. Additionally, Buhari’s call for support for Tinubu is significant, as the presidential election is just a few days away. Nigerians should take the time to carefully consider the issues and choose the candidate who will best serve their interests and the development of the country.
