A former Anambra State governor and presidential aspirant on the platform of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to jail any serving government official spending dollar in Nigeria should be become president in 2023.
Peter Obi, who said this during a radio programme, The Discourse, on Classic FM, condemned the debasement and neglect of Nigeria’s currency in preference for foreign currencies, especially the U.S dollar, by Nigerian politicians.
The presidential hopeful stressed his plan to make Nigeria work, adding that it was an abomination for any government official to spend another country’s currency in their own country.
He mentioned currency as one of the greatest measures of a country’s economic performance deserving of honour.
