Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, has advised the Federal Government to consult him to halt the free fall of the Naira in one month

 Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, has advised the Federal Government to consult some Nigerians who can halt the free fall of the Naira which is affecting the na­tion’s economy.

He said that if the Federal Gov­ernment consults him, he could re­store the nation’s currency to an ex­change rate of N200 to one US Dollar within one month – thereby arresting the slide in the Naira which is virtu­ally crippling the economy. The Nai­ra currently exchanges at N385 to the US dollar.

Chief Ubah, who was speak­ing on a Channels Television poli­tics programme, did not say how he was going to bring the Naira down to an exchange rate of 200 per dol­lar – but said the government could seize everything he owns if he failed to do this within one month, if given the mandate.

Chief Ubah also affirmed that he was not involved in any way what­soever in the $2.3 billion Dasuki­gate arms deal that involved the for­mer National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki. He said he was not in­volved in the politics of contracts and has never done any government con­tracts, whether at the Federal, state or local government levels.

“I am highly misunderstood, sometimes controversial. But I have never done any government contracts. I did not collect any money from Gov­ernment; I do not have an oil block – and I have not asked for one.”
