President Bola Ahmed Tinubu supporters across Nigeria are currently not happy over the increment in pump price of fuel, Savannah News gathered.
Many are saying they didn’t bargain for what is currently going on across the country.
A Kano resident, Adamu Salihu who said he and his family members voted massively for President Bola Tinubu in the last general election, has lamented the hike in the pump price of fuel.
Recall that President Tinubu during his inauguration speech announced subsidy removal.
Immediately after the announcement, petrol price moved from N195 per litre to N530.
Pump price climbed to N617 in Abuja and N620 in Kano in the early hours of yesterday, Tuesday, after another pump price was announced by NNPC.
Responding, Salihu, who said he hails from Bichi LGA in the State, said he might be forced to take to crime if something urgent is not done to correct the pump price.
He said: “Honestly this new price has hit us very hard. This is not what we voted for. My children and I voted the current government in power. What we are being served is contrary to what we asked for.
Speaking further: “I am a Nigerian, I deserve to be treated right. I am no longer a youth, I have Children and they also go out and vote. Very soon if there is no change, I will ask them to stop voting because they are no longer going to school and have started hawking ‘Awara’.
“I dropped them out of school and they are now selling ‘Awara’. How can they be denied education and start hawking? I have been in politics since the time of NRC and SDP. If things continue to go like this, we can retaliate. If our lawmakers and representatives will not do anything about it. We can take the law into our hands despite being law abiding citizens.
“All these hardship we are facing is as a result of the hike in fuel price, if not, we won’t be suffering like this. We don’t have good representation.”
