Ifeanyi Ubah, chairman of Capital Oil and Gas, says he has the business
wherewithal to restore the naira to 200 against the dollar in one month –
only if consulted by President Muhammadu Buhari, With the naira
currently exchanging with N384 to N390 against the dollar, Ubah, who was
speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today, said the fall is not as a
result of the activities of the Bureau De Change (BDC) operators.
“Look at the economy, look at the position of the naira today; some of
us have ideas on how we can restore this,” he said. “Do you know how
many Burea De Change people who food has been taken out of their
families because of this? If you say they are the ones causing it, then
where are you today? “It needs strategic management. It won’t take me
one month, if you give me part of that consultancy, naira would come
back to 200. “I can bet my life with it, naira would come back to N200.
If you call me for that consultancy, I would put naira back to 200.”
When asked how he would achieve the feat, Ubah said: “Don’t worry,
that’s my business and business is secret.” Ubah said he had no hand in
the alleged rigging of Ekiti state election.
He described Ayo Fayose as a
stingy governor, saying he appreciates his non-participation in the
state’s election. “Ayo is a stingy governor, he is not helping people
that helped him, But the issue is this, I did not, if I have done, I
would say I did it. Even those ruling us today, didn’t people give them
money?”
He said that the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN),
which he owns, can work for Buhari in the future, although “nobody is
dictating to TAN”. Ubah, who is the deputy director of the Peoples
Democracy Party (PDP) mobilisation team, said he never collected any
money from Sambo Dasuki, former national security adviser, for
electioneering. “I did not know Dasuki. TAN never received money from
Dasuki or the People’s Democratic Party.
We did what we did in the
interest of the nation and for posterity. “I’m a politician with a
mindset of making life worth living for the people when issues seem to
be getting out of hand. So TAN has no hand in whatever that has to do
with the arms deal fund.”
