We warned Nigerians but they wouldn’t listen. Today, they are paying the costly price of sucking in on propaganda than being swayed by the logic of commonsense.
All that the APC promised, have been cancelled. All they said they would do, are now being borne by Nigerians themselves at even more expensive costs.
Take the pump price of fuel for instance. They promised to reduce it to N40. But what did they do? They allowed it escalate to almost N300 per litre from N86 before settling for N145, which they peg as the deregulated price. LOL Where does that ever happen? You deregulate and still fix a price or benchmark or whatever you call it? It’s just another wayo.
What about power? They said they would fix it almost immediately. What did they do? But for organised Labour, they were bent on escalating the billing charge to a humongous amount per unit so that Nigerians would be the ones paying for the cost of whatever investments they intended to do in the power sector. Where did that leave us? We are at our lowest ever supply level in history. In fact, we are at ground zero. 0 megawatts for the first time in history.
It is not convenient to say the majority who pushed for this change are ignorant. But if they aren’t, then they are wicked. Nigeria does not deserve this at all even though they would want us to believe it was a majority decision that got us here in the first place.
