PASTOR ADEBOYE SLAMS THE FG ON THE THE REDESIGNING OF THE NAIRA
The Central Bank of Nigeria's proposal to redesign the N200, N500, and N1,000 notes in the face of the country's depreciating currency and growing inflation has drawn criticism from Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
Speaking at the conclusion of each month's Holy Ghost Congress of the Church was Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), one of the biggest Christian organizations in the nation.
On October 26, CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele announced the proposal by the apex bank to begin issuing the redesigned N200, N500, and N1,000 notes on December 15 of that year.
On January 31, 2023, he added, the new notes will totally replace the old ones.
Nonetheless, speaking on Friday at the Holy Service of the RCCC.
Adeboye bemoaned that while the value of the naira is falling quickly and many people are unable to pay basic necessities, the government is only considering "beautifying it."
He said, "You know what's going on in our country. It doesn't even make sense anymore. Our naira now is not even worth the paper it is printed on.
"And while people are hungry, trying to find enough money to buy bread to eat, our bosses are thinking of making the naira more beautiful, even if it can't buy bread, at least, it will look beautiful. Oh Lord, have mercy," he said.
However, he cautioned Nigerians to learn to accept the challenges facing the nation in order to avoid developing hypertension: "We have problems in the land now. Things seem to be getting funnier and funnier. If you don't learn to laugh in Nigeria now, you will develop hypertension."
Adeboye claimed that as of 2023, God had not yet revealed if the scheduled elections in Nigeria would go place.
"Do you know that up till now, and this is November, up
till now, Daddy (God) hasn't told me yet that there is going to be an election next year?
"We continue of course as if there is going to be. am saying that Adeboye, I am not talking of other people. God has not told me yet. The yet must be in capital (letters). He may tell me tomorrow; don't know but as of this moment, he hasn't told whether or not there will be an election next year," he said.
