Paul Psquare Laments Naira Scarcity After Criticizing The Senate For Extending The Deadline of Old Notes

Rudeboy, a stage name for Nigerian artist Paul Okoye, has resorted to social media to lament the current shortage of naira notes in his country.

On Thursday, February 16, the musician stated in a post on his Instagram Stories that he had to spend up to N70,000 to receive N40,000.

He claimed he had no alternative but to pay the high sum because he wanted to pay for a service at an embassy where they only accepted cash.

He noted:

“Omoh !!!

Just because I have to pay for a certain visa fee in an embassy, and it has to be paid in cash do
Joke apart

A while back, Paul tackled the Nigerian Senate for calling for the extension of the deadline of the swapping of the redesigned Naira notes.

The Senate recently called for the extension of the deadline for the swapping of the Naira notes to June 2023 for fear of the scarcity of the newly redesigned notes to common Nigerians.

Taking to his Instagram story, Paul accused the lawmakers of speaking up only because this particular policy affects them and the election

According to him, the lawmakers didn’t speak when the masses were hungry during the pandemic and palliatives because they were not affected.
