PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar’s special adviser on public communication, Phrank Shaibu, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of covertly restoring gasoline subsidies.
He asserted that the significant difference in price between gasoline, kerosene, and diesel was proof of this.
“Nigerians should not be deceived by the antics of this government,” Shaibu said in a statement on Tuesday. They have covertly reinstated fuel subsidies. Due to this, the price of gasoline has stayed constant while that of cooking gas, diesel, and kerosene have all increased.
Why do the prices of crude oil and foreign exchange rise while the cost of gasoline doesn’t? Is it feasible for the price of fried rice, which includes additives like green pepper, green peas, and salt, to increase while the price of rice stays the same? It is illogical!
Foreign investors have decided not to take the Tinubu government seriously because they are aware of the lies they are telling.
Recall that during his inauguration on May 29, Tinubu proclaimed an end to the gasoline subsidy system. The withdrawal of the subsidy had increased the cost of gasoline at the pump nationwide.
