“Government has told them to stay action on the sack of staff or face the consequences. I don’t know why the banks should be sacking, we need to ask what has happened to the profit they have been amassing in the past.
“They ought to have been prepared for the rainy day. People cannot be manipulated to create the situation of uncertainty and unnecessary frustration for the system.
“As far as I am concerned, what is happening now is pure sabotage. Nigerians should still trust the APC government.
“I will be ready to engage the media after two years of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.”
