Tension as Oyo residents besiege Governor’s office over fuel/naira scarcity

VOICE AIR MEDIA News Update

Barely 22 days before the 2023 general elections, some youths and other residents of Oyo in their numbers, on Friday besieged the governor’s office in Agodi area of Ibadan following the economic woes in Nigeria.

This comes as Nigerians continue to contend with fuel, new naira notes scarcity, and erratic power supply for weeks across the nation.

The protesters were said to have been repelled by security operatives attached to the governor’s office.

Not satisfied, the protesters were said to have thrown stones and other dangerous weapons into the governor’s office.

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari Friday on Friday urged Nigerians to give him seven days to resolve the cash crunch that has become a problem across the country from the policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria to change high-value Naira notes with new ones.

His plea came while speaking to the Progressive Governors Forum who came to the Presidential Villa to seek solutions to the cash squeeze, which they said was threatening the good records of the administration in transforming the economy.
