A former Chairman of the Labour Party, Dan Nwanyanwu, says that President Muhammadu Buhari, will not make the Nigerian currency equal to the American currency.

Nwanyanwu, also doubted the possibility of Buhari’s administration giving N5,000 to unemployed and poor Nigerians.

The pioneer Chairman of LP advised Nigerians to come to terms with the fact that President Muhammadu Buhari will not meet his campaign promises.

Nwanyanwu, stated this during a chat on Channels Television on Wednesday.

He said, “The APC and its presidential candidate made a lot of promises during the campaigns. We knew that some of these promises were not realisable. For example, there is no way one naira will be equal to one dollar. I know that without being an economist. There is no way anyone will be paid N5,000 every month. That is also not possible.

“But let us put all those campaign promises aside. We know our country. And we know where we are. And that is why I said that the APC as a political party should realise that the campaigns are over. They should stop defending the indefensible as regards whether they made certain promises or not. You do not learn how to write with your left hand at an old age.

“We have passed that stage, a President has been elected, let us encourage him and be patient with him and then look at the other areas he has to kick-start rather than probing every day. Yes, we are eager to get our stolen money back but at the same time, we want the government to start. What are you doing about unemployment and power?”
