Saboteurs are behind naira and fuel scarcity – Gbajabiamila

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, is of the opinion that saboteurs are behind the country's present predicament.

According to him, the scarcity of fuel and new Naira notes are orchestrated by some people who plan to hinder the successes of President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration.

He said this at a political gathering in Lagos state on Tuesday, February 14.

Gbajabiamila noted that the House of Representatives is putting in place measures to resolve the hardships in the country.

"As your representative and Speaker, I have a good understanding of the current hardships and discomfort being faced by many Nigerians, without exception to my constituents.

"The lower legislative chamber under my leadership has been on the side of the people, working tirelessly to rescue them from these difficulties. I am glad that the judiciary has also confirmed our position on the implementation of the policy of naira redesign."

The Speaker noted that the Naira swap policy was a well-thought-out plan that has unfortunately been hijacked and politicized.

"Nobody can convince me that it is not a plot to stop Asiwaju from becoming the president of this country . But I am glad that our God is a wonderful being, as the plot these people sat together to hatch he has intervened."
