- The former vice president said it is worrisome that T-pain, referring to Tinubu, is unfazed by the hardship facing Nigerians.
The 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has bemoaned the troubling state of the nation as Nigerians grapple with unprecedented hardship.
Atiku on Thursday said Tinubu should be blamed for the cost of living crisis and acute suffering in the country.
He asserted that the haphazard and disorganised approach of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to fuel subsidy management brought about Nigeria’s current economic crisis.
Atiku said this in reaction 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 woes in the country.
The former vice president said it is worrisome
that T-pain, referring to Tinubu, is unfazed by the hardship confronting Nigerians.
T-pain is a moniker netizens use to describe Tinubu because of tough and painful things have become under him.
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.
