Economy: Giving Buhari Emergency Powers Will Lead To Tyranny – DPC

The Democratic Peoples Congress (DPC) has warned against giving President Muhammadu Buhari emergency powers ‎to tackle economic issues, saying it would lead to tyranny and autocracy.
This is just as it called for the immediate sack of the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun and the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, claiming that “they are clueless” on effective strategies to revamp the economy.

The party made the call in a statement issued yesterday by ‎its national chairman, Reverend Olusegun Peters.
According to Peters, since ‎Buhari did not seek for extra powers to crush the Boko Haram insurgency in the North-east, he does not need such powers to revamp the economy.
“These are exactly the economic issues Nigerians voted President Buhari to effectively tackle with the executive powers conferred on him in the 1999 constitution as amended”, he said.
