Omokri noted that the Buhari regime did crude oil swaps for future sales, noting that they already collected money in advance from the oil “we are selling today and for the rest of this year ahead of time and spent it.”
He disclosed that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) cannot defend the Naira with $1.5 billion monthly.
Omokri stated thus:
"Many Nigerians don't even know that the Buhari administration had an oil swap deal in place by which they had collected money upfront for future oil sales. As of today, and for the next few months, Nigeria is not getting income for oil sales. Buhari already collected the money. Please research it. Not done, that regime printed trillions of Naira just like that. Money that was not backed up by production, gold, or dollars. They just flooded the economy with paper that only diluted the Naira already in circulation.
"Even if we want to continue the Buhari regime's practice of defending the Naira with $1.5 billion every month, Nigeria simply does not have the money to do it. If we don't float the Naira, our economy will just collapse, yakata!
