swap, Akeredolu

Ondo Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has described the cash swap policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN) and the fuel scarcity as lethal injections deliberately administered to demarket the All Progressives Congress (APC) government.

Akeredolu said the policy was to create an uncontrollable crisis in the country and frustrate the general elections.

Speaking in a statewide broadcast to residents of the State, the Governor said the presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was at the centre of all the darts and arrows of the current misnomer in the country.

The Ondo Governor stated that the cash swap policy was to frustrate the popularity and renowned acceptability of Tinubu across all tribes and religions in this country.

According to him: “The goal is to truncate the election and deny the country the service of a true patriot, an endowed visionary with proven record of character, knowledge, leadership and performance.

“It is also an attempt to abuse the principle of the rotational presidency by denying a section of this country its legitimate right thereby fuelling ethnic disaffection and creating a grave constitutional crisis in the country.” Governor Akeredolu said.

“Despite the desperate efforts by selfish and subversive elements within the government, to destroy the multiparty politics in Nigeria, the dividends of good governance brought to the people by the All Progressives Congress (APC) remain indelible in the recent history of our state in particular and the nation in general.

“You have witnessed the serious impacts of our administration in Ondo State in the last six years through our life-changing policies, massive projects, and unending activities.

You have also seen our dedication both as an APC political party and government, to our vision, mission and promises of life abundant for the good people of Ondo State.

“You have witnessed our abiding faith and confidence in the inner strength and potential of our people. You are witnesses to the full deployment of all our God-given talents, knowledge and capabilities, in service of Ondo state, to the best of our ability.”
