President Bola Tinubu has said that a wheelbarrow would have been used to carry Nigeria’s naira if he hadn’t taken some of the decisions he took when he took office in 2023.
Tinubu said the naira would have lost all its value and people would have needed a wheelbarrow to carry the country’s money if not for his decisions.
The president spoke in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital during his campaign rally for the presidency.
He also disclosed that the presidential election on January 16, 2027, is a consequential one that will determine where Nigeria is heading.

“When I took charge, 27 governors out of 36 states in the country were unable to pay their salary obligations, let alone pensions and gratuity.
“By now, if we didn’t make a decision the day I took over, we would have had to use a wheelbarrow to carry our naira because it would have been worth nothing.”
