Today, in the hands of Emefiele and the APC, the naira has tumbled to near N600 to a dollar, putting the nation\u2019s economy on its knees.<br>Painfully, under the leadership of Emefiele, the CBN has failed in its core mandate of managing the economy and took a dive into propaganda, with claims that do not reflect the harsh economic reality on the ground.<br>The PDP therefore urges the EFCC not to allow this revelation to be swept under the carpet as it borders on serious economic sabotage which sanctions are clearly spelt out under our laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) demands the immediate resignation and prosecution of the Governor
