Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has rejected the hike in electricity tariff, saying it will worsen the suffering of the people.

In a series of tweets on Friday, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Candidate in the last election accused the government of unleashing another dose of reforms without adequate notice and without an adequate post-reform plan to mitigate the pain.

The PDP chieftain said the increase in electricity tariff is coming at a time when “Nigerian citizens are going through excruciating difficulties occasioned by the withdrawal of subsidy on PMS and floating of the domestic currency.

“The government has not successfully dealt with the pains associated with the implementation of those measures, and now this. The hike in electricity tariff will create more difficulties for the citizens as inflationary pressures are elevated.

“Our manufacturing sector will similarly be impacted negatively. Not only are they paying higher interest rates on their bank loans but also paying more for diesel, paying higher wages as a result of the new minimum wage. The President’s men are pushing the economy into a deeper crisis. His reforms are without a human face.”

The opposition figure said, ” It is important that we understand the root cause of the inefficiencies in the power sector before unleashing another dose of reforms. It is time to revisit the privatization exercise that produced the DISCOs.

“Tinubu must (a) ensure that these reforms are sequenced, (b) implement measures to mitigate the pain, and (c) hold the NERC responsible for ensuring improved service delivery.”

This one just dey remember say Nigeria still dey exist...

Mikano Atiku shouldn't be putting mouth about this particular issue. When Atiku was Vp to Obasanjo, the special assignment ( portfolio) that was given to him was how to revive Nigeria epileptic power.

Instead of Atiku to fix the problem, he rather invited generator company like Mikano to come and scatter the situation.

So Atiku, STFU about the electricity situation in Nigeria, you had all the power to fix it but you chose not to.

Stale propaganda lies from the clueless APC e-warriors.

What evidence do you have of Atiku’s ownership of Mikano or Obasanjo asking him to be focused on electricity when Bola Ige and Agunloye were his trusted ministers
