In light of the difficulty brought on by the redesign of the previous naira notes, Dr. Victor Oye, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, has encouraged Nigerians to show caution.
The APGA head urged Nigerians to calmly ride through the current economic tide “because it will indicate good for Nigerians in the long run,” noting that President Muhammadu Buhari may not have meant “pain” for the populace.
According to him, “For me, we have already suffered it enough and I think there’s nothing wrong with it if we suffer once and achieve the best for this country.
“Yes, the hardship is much; but the President may not have meant such (suffering) for the masses of this country. I think he meant well for Nigerians, but not many will understand it. And so, I urge Nigerians to exercise a little patience in the face of this crisis. It’s going to be for the good of this country, in the long run.”
He praised the country’s judiciary, saying the sector had done well in discharging its duties.
He said, “No matter how one looks at it, the Nigerian judiciary remains the last hope of the common man. All I can tell the judiciary is for it to continually do what it needs to do for Nigerians to always repose confidence in it. That’s all.”
