On Wednesday, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State asked the Federal Government to review its Naira policy “before the situation gets out of hand”.

Yet, some people are not telling Mr President the truth. Someone close to the President should tell him that this policy will sink his image forever, if he allows it to remain the way it is. The Federal Government should review the policy before the situation gets out of hand.
