The Ondo governor added:
“There is palpable anger engendered by frustration in the land. The wave of discontent increases with unbelievable rapidity across the country. The current hardship being experienced by the ordinary people forebodes unpleasant consequences. These crises may set in motion a chain of events the end of which is better imagined."
Come clean, CBN governor - Akeredolu
He also called on the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele to come clean on the new monetary policy because at the moment Nigerians are practically buying the country’s currency to feed themselves.

Act now, crisis demarking APC - Akeredolu to Buhari
For Akeredolu, nothing more can demarket the APC than what is presently going on in Nigeria, which is why, as he sees it, the federal government, through the president, must act fast now.
His words:
“There is no better way to de-market a brand than this ruthless execution of a pernicious motive. The Federal Government, through the President (Muhammadu Buhari), must act now.”
