A Media Adviser to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate.of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Paul Ibe, has recalled how Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu encouraged former President Muhammadu Buhari to print Naira in 2020.
Peter Ibe spoke as the National Assembly has signified its intention to probe the minting of N27 trillion Ways and Means cash by the last regime.
Ibe posted a newspaper report on Tinubu’s counsel to Buhari.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Yemi Cardoso and the Finance Minister Wale Edun have also blamed the current economic downturn on that step by Buhari.
However, Ibe said on Thursday in a Facebook posting:
“Why is Wale Edun, who is more like oku eko (frozen fish) in this administration bleating like a goat over the issue of Buhari’s printing of Naira? It was @officialABAT who, in 2020, encouraged Buhari on this irresponsible path of printing currency not matched with productivity.”
