A supporter of President Bola Tinubu, who engaged in electoral violence in the 2023 general elections, has bitterly lamented the recent fuel pump price and fuel scarcity.
In a viral video that surfaced on social media, the man, who is yet to be identified, expressed his disappointment over the economic hardship following the Bola Tinubu-led administration’s decisions to remove subsidies, dramatically impacting the cost of living.
The man who noted that he had forced people to vote for President Bola Tinubu in 2023 expressed regret saying the present administration has spoilt his life.
“We are enduring severe hardships in this country. Fuel is scarce, and we are being mistreated at fuel stations. We voted for Jagaban (Tinubu). We voted for Jagaban (Tinubu). I was one of those who enforced votes in Idi-Oro. We were knocking on doors and hitting people’s heads to vote for you. Now that you have won, you have ruined our lives,” the man lamented, his voice filled with a sense of betrayal.
“To feed ourselves is tough for us. Those of us working in our fatherland are now as lazy. Jagaban, do something.
“We are the ones beating our fathers’ mates with canes for your sake. Awa l’okan (“It is our turn” a phrase attributed to Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election campaign).
“I know that they will come and beat me at home with what I have said, but I am a street urchin too. At the end of the day, we have regretted to have followed awa l’okan.”
