Adamu Salihu, a Kano state citizen, has stated that the current suffering Nigerians are experiencing as a result of the increase in the pump price of fuel is not what he and his family members expected when they voted for Tinubu’s government.
Fuel, which had risen from N195 to N530 per litre after President Tinubu announced the end of subsidies in his inaugural speech on May 29, had fallen to N617 in Abuja and N620 in Kano in the early hours of Tuesday, July 18.
Salihu, who claims to be from Bichi LGA in the state, claimed he may be forced to turn to crime in response to the current development.
Speaking to DailyTrust, 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. 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 selling ‘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 hike in fuel price, if not, we won’t be suffering like this. We don’t have good representation.”
