President Muhammadu Buhari has been asked to resign over economic crisis arising from the naira swap and redesign of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.
The generality of Nigerians’ financial woes have been compounded by the controversial monetary policy of the CBN occasioning cash crunch, with many regularly spending quality time in bank queues mostly to no avail.
Flowing from the painful situation, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria asked the country’s overseer to turn in his resignation letter via a statement signed by the group’s Executive Director, Emmanuel Onwubiko.
In it, the group said, the step became necessary to prevent a total collapse of the economy, slamming the President and the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele.
It reads partly, “The CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele and President Muhammadu Buhari have sadly impoverished Nigerians with a needless naira redesign policy that they used as a political tool against their opponents.
“Alas! Nigeria is in on autopilot mood. The Supreme Court makes a judgment, President Buhari took off for a globetrotting gambit in Qatar, while the CBN governor maintained sealed lips as millions of Nigerians wallow in an excruciating cash crunch. If President Muhammadu Buhari is God fearing and is a statesman as he claims, then he had better turn in his resignation letter immediately to stave off the imminent economic collapse of Nigeria under his watch.”
