Recall that several Nigerians have criticised President Bola Tinubu for the removal of fuel, while others have applauded the move.

For instance, a bag of rice was sold for N18,000 during the tenure of Goodluck Jonathan as president, who was succeeded by the administration of Muhammadu Buhari, where a bag of rice was sold for N35,000, but currently, under the Tinubu-led administration, a bag of rice is sold for N85,000.

In the video, Eedris Abdulkareem said, “I remember when Jonathan left, a bag of rice was N18,000; during the Buhari government, it was about N35,000–N40,000; Tinubu escalated it to approximately N85,000.”.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
