'Tinubu's policies worsened hardship' - Opposition figure

Meanwhile, an opposition member, Adekunle Razaq Aderibigbe, opined that the removal of the fuel subsidy has drastically increased the cost of fuel, leading to inflationary pressures across all sectors.

Speaking in an interview with Legit.ng, the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) chieftain explained that while the policy aims at reducing fiscal deficits, its implementation lacks adequate cushioning mechanisms for the most vulnerable citizens.

Aderibigbe told Legit.ng:

"Millions have slipped into deeper poverty due to higher transportation and living costs just like the president confirmed his friend has lost his social status of multi-Rolls-Royce adventurer to a Honda wanderer. The government needs to introduce targeted subsidies or direct cash transfers to alleviate this burden."
