๐จTO PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU AND SEYI TINUBU, ANSWER SINCERELY FROM YOUR HEARTS.
If you were in my position today...a common man struggling every single day under this difficult situation, trying to feed my family, buying expensive fuel for the generator, paying high for transportation, and dealing with rising house rent...would you vote for the president who brought all this suffering upon us?
Before you became president on May 29, 2023, life in Nigeria was already hard. But things were much cheaper for the common man. We could at least manage. Here are some prices from that time:
- Petrol: โฆ185 to โฆ198 per litre
- 50kg bag of rice: โฆ35,000
- Crate of eggs: โฆ2,500
- Loaf of bread: โฆ500
- Cooking gas: โฆ570 per kg
- $1 USD: Around โฆ460
- Bag of pure water: โฆ150
Transport was more affordable. Food was easier to buy. People could move around and run small businesses without so much stress.
Now, under your leadership, everything has become extremely expensive and life is full of suffering:
- Petrol: โฆ1,250 to โฆ1,400 per litre
- 50kg bag of rice: โฆ70,000 to โฆ95,000 or even higher
- Crate of eggs: โฆ7,000 to โฆ8,000
- Loaf of bread: Over โฆ1,000
- Cooking gas: โฆ1,800 to โฆ2,200 per kg (12.5kg cylinder now costs โฆ22,000 to โฆ28,000 or more)
- House rent has increased sharply in many areas.
- Many other food items have doubled or tripled in price.
You removed the fuel subsidy that the common man benefited from directly. You claimed your government saved a lot of money from subsidy removal and sent more allocations to governors and local governments through FAAC. It's true that the money given to states increased greatly more than before.
But the truth is that this extra money only benefits the governors and local governments, not the poor masses. Governors use some to build roads and big projects that they can show for politics. They pay themselves high salaries, buy luxury cars, travel abroad, and enjoy personal benefits.
The poor masses see nothing from this money. We need cheap food on the table, cheap fuel for our generators and transport, cheap cooking gas to prepare meals, and affordable house rent so we are not thrown out on the streets. Roads may be useful, but they do not put food in our pots, lower the price of fuel or gas, or reduce house rent.
The suffering continues every day while the leaders enjoy the money.
We are not even talking about insecurity... You know the story.
So Tinubu, if you were in our position... facing this daily struggle with your family and seeing no relief... would you vote for a president who made life this hard?
Just be truthful to yourself.
