Tinubu’s Subsidy Approach Behind Nigeria’s Hardship – Atiku

The 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Thursday, said the haphazard approach of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to fuel subsidy management is responsible for Nigeria’s current economic crisis.

Atiku said Tinubu is unperturbed by the hardship confronting Nigerians.

Atiku was reacting to the latest hike in the pump price of petrol by the National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL.

NNPCL had adjusted the pump price of fuel from N897 per litre to N1,030 in Abuja, and from N855 to N998 in Lagos.

However, Atiku decried Tinubu’s perceived silence to the current economic challenge in the country.

Posting on X, Atiku wrote: “The haphazard and disingenuous approach of the current administration to fuel subsidy management has been the reason we are in this current economic crisis in the country.

As things stand, there will be no let up in the escalating inflation rate, which is drowning the material well-being of Nigerians.

“It is even more worrying that T-pain is undisturbed by the hardship in the country.”
