How APC chieftain reacted to Tinubu's policies

He lamented that he had to find a means of survival in the country at this time, considering the fact that the economy was challenging and the cost of living was increasing.

"We have devised a way to beat the Power Companies' outrageous bills by switching off the ACs, turning off some light bulbs, going Solar, switching off heaters, turning off the fridges and Deep freezers at intervals, etc. We have to survive this time."

This is coming two days after the APC chieftain lamented spending up to N20,000 every day on electricity tariffs, calling on President Tinubu to reverse the tariff hike on the electricity, adding that if the tariff hike were not reversed, it would affect small businesses in the country.
