Peter Obi Slams Tinubu’s Reforms As Reason For Hardship
Presidential candidate of Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, yesterday blamed President Bola Tinubu’s major reforms, including the removal of the fuel subsidy, floating of the naira, and tax reforms, for the worsening hardship in the country.
Obi said implementation of the different reforms had contributed to rising prices, business closures, unemployment, and declining living standards.
He also criticised the federal government’s 30-day petrol discount, stating that the initiative covers less than four per cent of the filling stations nationwide and offered inadequate relief to Nigerians struggling with high living costs.
Obi, in a statement, maintained that the government should focus on policies that reduce the cost of living rather than on short-term measures that would expire without addressing the underlying problems.
