“Nigerians are currently going through a difficult time arising from scarcity of cash. Added to the issue of unavailability of cash are the scarcity and high cost of petroleum products especially Egbema kingdom a riverine Communities suffering seriously. Efforts should be geared towards providing succour to the populace in this area as scarcity of petrol will substantially affect the massive turn out of the 2023 elections in the country,” he stated
