Petrol Price Hike: ‘T-pain’ Is Undisturbed By Nigerians’ Hardship – Atiku

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, has asserted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is unconcerned about the hardship in the country.

The former vice president made this known while reacting to the recent petrol price hike.

Recall that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, adjusted the pump price of fuel from N897 per litre to N1,030 in Abuja, and from N855 to N998 in Lagos.

The increase in fuel had no doubt affected Nigerians as they continued to groan over the economic situation.

In a post via X on Thursday, Atiku stated that the haphazard approach of the administration of President Tinubu to fuel subsidy management is the reason for the economic crisis in the country.

Atiku noted that Tinubu’s silence to the current challenge in the country is worrisome.

He said, “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.”

T-pain is a play on the first letter of the president’s last name which is currently trending on social media, presumably with inspiration from American rapper Faheem Najm, who goes by the stage name T-Pain.
