Oby Ezekwesili, the leader of the Red Card Movement, was speaking on a Channels Television programme to commemorate the third anniversary of the Buhari government. “The president decided to do an exchange policy that took us to the era of import license, a market policy based on command and control. “By doing so, the president, who said he didn’t want to murder the naira, ended up murdering the naira by becoming almost the CBN governor,” she said. But the spokesman of the Buhari campaign Festus Keyamo said the naira was already slipping before Buhari was sworn in May 2015. Keyamo also insisted that blaming President Buhari for the economic recession was political and absolved the current government of any wrongdoing.
