Orji Uzor Kalu: My Family Could Not Cook Over Naira Scarcity (Video) by Naijalarry: 2:30am On Feb 21, 2023

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu on Monday lamented the scarcity of the naira owing to the currency redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). He claims his family could not get enough money to cook recently.

“You can see the policy is right but I don’t keep money in my house. I am suffering,” he said during his appearance on Channels Television’s election programme The 2023 Verdict

“The other day, my house manager told my wife in Abuja that we have no money to cook food. My wife was virtually roaming around and we feed over 250 people every day. It is a problem to me and to everybody.”

The former Abia State governor is the latest in the list of high-profile politicians in the country who have rued the scarcity of banknotes following the CBN’s currency redesign policy.

While the Supreme Court ruled that the old N1,000, N500, and N200 banknotes were still valid, President Muhammadu Buhari last week only extended the usage of the N200 notes till April 10, 2023, rendering others as non-legal tenders.

The move did not go well with several governors especially those of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) who maintain that the old banknotes should be used in their states.

Weighing into the matter, Senator Kalu towed a similar line as the governors, arguing that he would have obeyed the Supreme Court’s order on the naira notes if he were the Nigerian president.

“This is why if I am in the position of the Mr President as I have told you before, I will listen to the Supreme Court judgement. The Supreme Court to me, whether they are right or wrong, Mr President should obey the law and ask his Attorney General to put a review to the Supreme Court,” the senator representing Abia North said, adding that the cash crunch won’t affect his party – APC’s – chances of winning the presidential election.

Thanks to Peter Obi and Atiku!

Both don’t care about the masses and just being selfish because of their political ambition!

His Excellence, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, emphasized and reemphasized severally, on the need to extend the exchange process, but Peter and his former boss-Atiku refused.

Anyone with PDP blood running through his veins does not give a flying fvck about the masses. All they care about is the national treasury.

When you see someone invest state funds into beer parlour business while lack and decadence of infrastructure was a major challenge for Anambra, it tells you how people can be very selfish because of profit!

All these politicians sabi lie undecided
They are just saying all these things to whip up sentiment. That was how ebonyi governor said he doesn't even have 20k of the new note undecided

They are doing all these so that people will think the policy dey affect everybody.

If everyone is saying they don't have the new notes, then wetin happen to the 400billion that was printed?

The truth is if these monies weren't mopped up by these evil politicians, this situation won't be this bad. At least we all saw at the beginning of this year that the new notes were beginning to circulate and we were all even mocking the cbn for printing funny looking notes.

Says a Mumucious Ūrchinous fellow...

Your Mumu never do ?

These Fire brigade Governors and the Notorious Drug Baron that they are peddling about do not give a fūck about Nigerians...

The only reason they are crying to the supreme court is because the massive amount of money that they have earmarked for Vote Buying is now as good as toilet paper...

And not because they care about you or Nigerians..

For months, Nigerian students were sitting at home and female students were even getting impregnated

Why did your Lord and saviour Thïefnubu and his Ūrchinious Governors not sue Buhari and this failed government... ?

The answer is very simple....

Their own children are studying abroad and that policy will not affect them directly

But they are now crying blood because this particular policy hit them hard and they are now watching billions of naira going down the drain

So forget about this Fire brigade "defenders of the people"

Why were they not defending the wellbeing and interests of the people for the past eight years when this failed government has been unleashing hell on Nigerians ?

You cannot support Thïefnubu and his Ūrchinious Governors on this matter and not reveal how Stupid you are

Enough is Enough: Tinubu's APC must Go

I am not perturbed by your opinion, you said worst about Buhari. Buhari is sick and will die soon, It’s almost 8 years and Buhari is still coasting.
