Fuel Price Hike: It's Too Early To Cry, The Real Problem Is Coming – SDP’s Adewole Adebayo Mocks Nigerians

 

Nigerians have been mocked by the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the last election, Prince Adewole Adebayo following the hardship being experienced as a result of the new increase in the price of petrol.

 

According to him, the suffering is the result of what Nigerians voted for in the 2023 election.

 

He spoke with Arise Television on Wednesday while reacting to the present economic crisis occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy which has imposed hardship on Nigerians.

 

There has been widespread anger across the country over the recent hike in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as fuel.

 

Recall that prices of food items and other essential goods and services have skyrocketed following the hike in fuel prices from N537 to N620 in the nation’s capital and other parts of the country.

 

Reacting to the uproar generated by the hike, Adewole declared that Tinubu is yet to unfold his own policies, which could bring about more complications.

 

He said some of the measures the president is currently taking are just based on what he met on ground, stressing that Tinubu’s policies are yet to come.

 

He said: “This is the consequence of the votes you cast, and it is too early to cry now because the real problem hasn’t come. But when these problems come, we should solve them as a country; we should not see them as politics.
