Those group of persons giving him the courage to carry out all these anti-APC and anti-people monetary policy measures are hell-bent on destroying whatever iota of progressive legacy this outgoing Buhari government was to leave behind. What a mess!<\/p>\n<p>Emefiele and his likes have no justification for whatever reasons to embark on these unprofessional, unprogressive and lacklustre currency redesign measures at this time of the nation\u2019s democratic and economic development history if it is not aimed at taking a pound of flesh on the APC for not \u2018dashing\u2019 him our ticket on a platter of gold.
