2023: Tinubu Lashes Out At Buhari Administration, Laments Naira Exchange Rate

In yet another surprising turn of events, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari's administration, blaming them for the nation's current woes.

Tinubu had previously criticised the federal government over the lingering fuel crisis, with rumours making the rounds that he and the president were having issues.

While addressing APC supporters at the APC presidential campaign rally in Calabar, Cross River State on Tuesday, the presidential flag bearer took another swipe at the government, lamenting the naira exchange rate.

According to Tinubu, the Buhari-led administration does not know the way and cannot think of a solution to the country's challenges.

“To change and the torture (sic), they moved the exchange rate from N200 to N800.

"If they have repaired it, if they have arrested this, we won't be where we are today. We will have been greater.

“They don't know the way, they don't know how to think, they don't know how to do", he stated.

“Let fuel be expensive, only they know where they keep it.

"Keep petrol, keep the naira, we will vote and be elected. You may change the ink of naira notes.

"What you expect will not happen. We will win.

“They said petrol will rise to N200/litre and N500/litre, let your mind be at rest.

"They don’t want these forthcoming elections to hold. They want to scatter it but that won’t be possible.

“They thought they could cause trouble; they sabotaged fuel but with or without fuel, with or without motorcycles and tricycles, we will vote and win. This is a superior revolution.

“We will take over government through our PVCs. Even if they say there is no fuel, we will trek to the polling units”, Tinubu added.
