Media scholar, Farooq Kperogi on Saturday said Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential flag-bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 election is the sole target of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Naira “recolouring policy”.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Kperogi however lamented that “everyday, Nigerians are its victims” and the ruling APC governors “are finding a way around the naira blockade”.
The Professor wrote in his weekly column: “It was the exceptionally witty and satirical Senator Shehu Sani who first pointed out that the recoloring of the naira and the deathly, crippling scarcity that has come in its wake only a few days to the general election are akin to burning the entire forest while hunting down a rat. Many people missed the import of the senator’s metaphor.
“So, let me bring it down from the stratosphere of abstract metaphors to a more placid, mundane truth. Buhari and his inner circle are not hunting down a rat; they after a bat— or, if you like, a BAT with capital letters—that lives in a massive, glitzy mansion on Bourdillon Road in Ikoyi, Lagos.
“They’re in mortal dread of the BAT because of its bullion vans and what it did with the vans during past elections and what it can do with them during this year’s general election.
“To cut to the chase, Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) is the single most important reason Buhari has chosen to recolor the naira as a pretext to consciously make it scarce and thereby prevent Tinubu from using it to win this month’s presidential election. That’s all there is to it.”
Then why did you not surport Obi from the South East knowing that the south west has produced Obasanjo from the same zone Tinubu is from
A retired rebellion seeking for relevance,the problem we have here in East is from enugu and ebony states precisely…they are heartless and wicked people full of hatred in their hearts always.
