Former Governor of Kaduna, Nasir El-Rufai, has lambasted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whom he once supported in the 2023 general elections.
He said 30 million Nigerians have fallen into poverty and agriculture has been destroyed under President Bola Ahmed.
He disclosed this during an interview with Channels Television on Sunday.
He noted that under Tinubu’s government the foreign exchange rate has also dropped from N400 to N1600.
“The one that is here now, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, that we all supported to be president, has been given the opportunity. What are the results?
“We have moved the exchange rate from N400 to N1,600; 30 million people have fallen into poverty. Agriculture has been destroyed because of stupid policies of making food cheaper through to importation”, he said.
He added, “I am not the only person qualified to call it evil because I know evil when I see it”.
It was reported that the foreign exchange rate stood at N1,531.57 at the foreign market as of Friday last week.
In 2022, the Nigeria Bureau of Statisticssaid 133 million Nigerians are multidimensionally poor, although the agency is yet to announce any latest figure.
