The current shortage of petrol and the naira, according to Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila, is a conspiracy against Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate.
The Speaker claimed that some individuals purposefully stoked a crisis surrounding the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) cashless policy in order to prevent Tinubu from winning the presidential election on Tuesday in Lagos during the introduction of the second phase of a transportation initiative known as “Gbaja ride.”
No one has been able to persuade him, he said, that the fresh naira crisis is not a scheme to thwart Tinubu’s presidential campaign.
But because of God’s intervention, he was relieved that the participants in the purported conspiracy had been exposed.

The Speaker further said that certain individuals had meticulously planned the ongoing gasoline shortage and the lack of naira notes to hinder the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Nobody can persuade me that it is not a plan to prevent Asiwaju from winning the presidency of this nation,” he declared.
“But I am glad that our God is a wonderful being, as the plot these people sat together to hatch he has intervened.
“I have followed the campaign team to the East, North and everywhere with Asiwaju and I doff my hat for Nigerians.”
“The lower legislative chamber under my leadership has been on the side of the people, working tirelessly to rescue them from these difficulties.
“I am glad that the judiciary has also confirmed our position on the implementation of the policy of naira redesign.”
