Emefiele Left Economy in Disarray, Why It’s Difficult To Charge Him – Akpabio

The current administration under President Bola Tinubu, according to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, found the Nigerian economy in disarray, which he attributed to the policies of former Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele.

The Senate President said this while delivering a speech on Sunday at Senator Barinada Mpigi’s thanksgiving service in Koroma, Tai Local Government Area, Rivers State.

“So, the kind of debt and economic mess that we are in, a lot of people will not understand but I remember President Obama saying that you cannot know Washington until you get to Washington.

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.

“But what we can is that yes there is hunger today because of the policies and actions that they took, and we recognise that, and I think every political party should recognise that there is hunger, and we are battling to ensure that Nigerians sleep with their eyes closed,” Akpabio said.
