They Dodged Bullet But Ended Up In A Nuclear Blast -Aisha Yesufu Shades APC

Activist and co-convener of Bring Back Our Girls Movement, Aisha Yesufu has decried the alarming spike in the dollar to Naira exchange rate.

A dollar is currently being exchanged for N920 at the parallel market. 

In a video posted on social media, Aisha who is a stunch supporter of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, said that some persons claimed that they ‘’dodged a bullet” but instead ended up with a ‘’nuclear blast”.

While tackling the government policies that have led to the spike in the exchange rate, Yesufu said:

‘’Life comes hard at everyone. You do anyhow, you see anyhow. They said they escaped bullet, now they found themselves in a nuclear blast. Hausa people have a saying that when you want to dig a pit of wickedness, you should not make it too deep; dig a shallow one just in case you end up falling into the pit you dug for your enemies!

“Dollar is heading to N1000. I used to tweet it then. I would say the way we are going, we might find ourselves at dollar N2000. That is when some people will now say ‘’Maybe Buhari was not that bad since the other one was based on how much dollar is’. In Nigeria, the way to be competent is to ensure the person after you is worse. That is how we do it.

“In terms of nation building, in a situation like this, it is understandable if you are having hardship because if you need to take certain decisions it must come with hardship but when you are having hardship with no clear cut plans, the policies are not aligning, they are just haphazard, then you are in a bigger problem”
