Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has said the cash crunch caused by the naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria is taking a toll on him.
In an interview on Channels Television’s election programme, The 2023 Verdict, Orji claimed that recently, his family could not get enough money to cook.
He said, “You can see the policy is right but I don’t keep money in my house. I am suffering.
“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.”
Recall that governors of the All Progressives Congress have been at loggerheads with President Muhammadu Buhari over the policy.
They had filed a suit against the Federal Government at the Supreme Court.
While the court restrained the CBN from effecting deadline of the old naira notes, Buhari declared that N500 and N1000 notes were no longer legal tender.
He only asked the apex bank to make N200 notes circulate until the eve of the March 11 governorship election.
Hahahahahaha
