“All of you campaigning for APC, campaigning for President Tinubu, look at this fuel I just bought for ₦62,000. During Goodluck Jonathan’s time, it would’ve cost about ₦12,000. Keep voting APC, when hardship hits, we’ll all face it.”

"2024 oo. 2026 now and everything dun worse. Everything price went 100x and yet you still want the same person to continue leading you. Until fuel reach 5k per litre and we still adapt."
