Information minister Lai Mohammed on Tuesday accused opposition parties of legally hamstringing President Muhammadu Buhari from providing relief for Nigerians battling hardship of cash crunch following CBN’s and banks’ failure to allow enough cash circulation in the country.

Mr Mohammed blamed the unnamed parties at the 23rd edition of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration scorecard series (2015-2023).

The minister claimed the Buhari regime was mindful of the inconveniences endured by citizens because of its new naira banknotes and fuel scarcity.

Mr Mohammed said it was surprising that some opposition political parties ran to court to obtain an injunction restraining Mr Buhari and the CBN from extending the February 10 deadline for Nigerians to exchange their old notes for new ones.

“The court action came after a number of opposition parties threatened to boycott the 2023 general elections if the deadline was extended. These curious actions by the parties concerned is clear evidence that the opposition has turned this whole issue into a political game, preferring to make Nigerians suffer more on the altar of unconscionable political gamesmanship,” Mr Mohammed alleged.

The minister added, “Or how else can one explain the fact that these unscrupulous opposition parties do not want any action that could reduce the pains being experienced by Nigerians?”

According to the minister, the opposition parties are playing dirty politics by putting their interests above that of Nigerians’.

He said the desperate actions would not make the political parties win at the polls because voters see them public enemies.

The minister recalled that after a meeting with governors of his All Progressives Congress, the president urged Nigerians to give him a seven-day window to resolve hiccups in implementing the new naira scheme.

We only have 2 candidates from the North in this election all the rest are from the South, all the moves by the CBN to destabilize the nation are not against APC or Tinubu but rather it's against the Southerners, the current situation is the perfect excuse for the cancellation of the election or at worse makes PDP and Atiku wins the election. And Southerners are the ones helping the Northerners to achieve it. As always the South had the Education by the North had the Wisdom

Death to all of you.

I actually thought the moon was a ball for soccer among angels.

But currently, I felt so scared and disturbed beyond normal compared to the past.

It is indeed a shame that Nigerians aren't smart enough to know what suits their appetite for good life.

Have you ever been fooled, only so you will wise again and be born again.

This is madness, Apc is always blaming others why can't you take responsibility?
You are in charge of the country affairs and you blame opposition party for your failures.
Honestly,Apc is useless, demonic party full of rogues and thieves.
Vote Peter obi for President.

India and china have lunched digital currency, Nigerians are still struggling with using ATM, the power that be want to force us to start using digital payment, they want to end cash.
