Nigerians on Twitter condemn pastor who prayed that naira will fall to ₦2,500/$
Some Nigerians on Twitter are currently incensed over the prediction of a pastor that the naira will further depreciate to ₦2,500 against the United States dollar.
In the video that is going viral, the pastor, Popularly called Prophet Ritabbi, was seen addressing a packed congregation.
The controversial man of God recalled how he appealed to Nigerians to vote for Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential flagbearer for the 2023 general elections.
His remarks suggested that the naira wouldn’t have taken a tumble, and the economy would have fared far better than the current performance under an Obi presidency.
Since the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) decided to harmonise the foreign exchange market in June last year, the naira suffered a consistent dip, depreciating to almost ₦2,000 against the dollar early this year.
Commenting on the development, Prophet Ritabbi scornfully predicted that the currency would further devalue to ₦2,500.
“When I was saying they should vote Peter Obi, they thought Peter Obi is my brother, that’s why. We never start walahi, dollar now is N1,500 now, we will go to ₦2,500. Amin,” he said.
However, even though Nigerians are currently reacting to the video, a quick check by this reporter showed that the clip in question was uploaded to the pastor’s Twitter page on February 19, 2024.
