In a campaign pledge certain to
question his grasp of the Nigerian economy, the presidential candidate
of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Major-General Muhammadu Buhari
(rtd), on Monday promised to ensure that the naira would be equal to the
dollar in value if voted into office.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
reported that Buhari said this during the south-east presidential rally
of the party at Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.
“It is sad that the value of the naira has dropped to more than N230 to one dollar. This does not speak well for the nation’s economy,” he said without any indication that he stated how he is going to achieve this naira-dollar parity. He urged the people to vote for APC, noting that he would ensure that corruption was tackled headlong if elected.
