Fani-Kayode, a former Aviation Minister, was again ventilating his anger over the redesign of the Nigerian currency, the Naira and the attendant economic woes it has brought on Nigerians. According to Fani-Kayode, “History and posterity will punish Godwin Emefiele and those behind this orchestrated mess and conspiracy.”

His condemnation came amidst loud complaints by Nigerians how to get the new Naira notes. In. some instances, Point of Sale operators charge exorbitant services charges on transactions. The automated teller machines are also not dispensing with thousands besieging banks for withdrawals.

Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, had said that the Federal Government was concerned about the plight of the citizens on the currency swap, adding that the situation would not persist.

“Of course, we are worried; we are not that happy that citizens have to queue and struggle at bank ATM to be able to get their cash but this is a temporary solution.

“Let me just give you an analogy; if you have a wound, for you to be able to heal that wound, it needs to be dressed; sometimes, when you go to the hospital, they put iodine and it is very painful but it is necessary to that to get the wound to heal.

“So, it is not easy and the president is not happy that the citizens are really suffering; but we are convinced that it is something that needs to be done this time,”she said
