NIGERIAN ELECTIONS AMIDST SCARCITY OF CASH
400 billion new naira notes scandal and Popular Nigerian Pastors on The upcoming elections
A sequel to the updates on Naira scarcity has it that about a day ago, the presidential candidate of All Progressive Congress party (APC) Bola Ahmed Tinubu had his house raided by Economic and Financial Crimes Commision (EFCC) and they uncovered 400 billion naira new notes! The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has debunked insinuations that the sum of N400 billion was recovered when operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission raided the home of its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. This is even as the campaign council called for the arrest of the publishers for libel. The APC PCC rebuttal is coming hours after the EFCC also denied carrying out the raid on the residence of the former Lagos State governor.
On Sunday, an online platform, Igbo Times Magazine, published the controversial report that about N400bn old notes were discovered by operatives of the EFCC after one of Tinubu’s underground homes was raided. The news gained traction on social media before it was refuted by the anti-graft agency on Sunday. Denying the reports in a tweet via its Twitter handle, the spokesperson for the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, urged Nigerians to disregard the report as fake news. Well we can’t say much about Nigeria but the heights of corruption in Africa didn’t spare the Country Nigeria, even though a lot of its citizens and celebrities are being very optimistic of the presidential candidate Peter Obi due to the integrity in his political history.
Go and Verify has also been his slogan due to his confidence in his honesty and integrity. In the last few weeks more pastors who did not want to directly state their opinion on their preferred presidential candidate have been forced to, due to the fact that some people still don’t know the criterias of a wise candidate. And as quoted from the Bible by one pastor “when the wicked rule the people perish, and when the righteous rule the people rejoice” has been the motivating factor to encourage their audience the right person to vote amongst all presidential candidates..
We’ve treated other spheres of people supporting the presidential candidate of the labor party, Mr Peter Obi, today we take a look at a few international pastors from Nigeria talking about it.
