As Nigerians lament the scarcity of new Naira notes, former All Progressives Congress (APC) Lagos State spokesperson Joe Igbokwe has claimed that some people are plotting to sabotage the upcoming general elections.
The APC chieftain stated this after being stranded without the new notes despite going to the bank by himself on Thursday.
In a video posted on his Facebook page, Igbokwe expressed his disappointment, questioning why most of the big banks have no new money while some specific banks are giving out money.
He also questioned the fate of the average Nigerian during this difficult period, saying that those in charge must act quickly.
He claims that the fact that this is happening as the general election approaches indicates that some people are behind it.
He said:
“This is completely sabotage, why is there a new notes scarcity days to election, people in charge must treat this as a matter of urgency.”
He continued:
Who is doing this, was this not planned? if you know you are going to collect one trillion, you should have produced more than one trillion naira. What is happening, this is sabotage and we will not take it.
