Phrank Shaibu, Special Assistant on Public Communication to former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of ADC, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar; has told President Tinubu that Atiku will make life affordable again for Nigerians.
He said this via a strong-worded passionate tweet personally addressed to President Tinubu on Monday morning while President Tinubu has just commenced the second leg of his Europe vacation in France.
“Dear @officialABAT,
“Uber did not leave because Nigerians stopped needing rides. It left because, under your economy, passengers could no longer afford the fares and drivers could no longer earn enough to feed their families.
“Fuel went up. Spare parts, car loans and repairs went up. The naira fell. Then came more taxes and licence fees from your Taiwo Oyedele. He brought a stealth tax on movement. Before passengers reach their destinations, your government has already emptied their pockets.
“Passengers pay more, drivers earn less and the platforms struggle to survive,” Phrank told President Tinubu.
“Uber could not increase fares because Nigerians were already struggling. It could not keep fares low because drivers were losing money. After 12 years, it packed its bags, leaving behind lost jobs, lost incomes & more worried families.
“Mr. Bola, stop calling this reform. Any policy that empties pockets, kills jobs and drives businesses out of Nigeria is organised hardship & wickedness raised to an ontological level,” he further said.
“YOU, @officialABAT MADE LIFE EXPENSIVE.
“H.E. @atiku WILL MAKE NIGERIA AFFORDABLE AGAIN,” he concluded.
