The opposition Peoples Democratic Party {PDP} has reacted to the declaration of President Bola Tinubu that “subsidy is gone” and the attendant hardship that heralded the declaration, calling on Nigerians to brace up for more pains in the months ahead.
According to the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba, while speaking in Abuja, the PDP warned citizens of what awaited them should the All Progressive Congress{APC} win the 2023 presidential polls
The party also said it was not surprised by the development because Tinubu, during his electioneering campaigns, promised to sustain the legacies of former president Muhammadu Buhari.
He said: “There is nothing to say anymore that we have not said. Bola Tinubu said he was going to continue with the policies of Muhammadu Buhari, which are policies of pain, anguish, sorrow, suffering, disregard for human lives and insensitivity. It is Biblical in that a man said ‘My father chastised you with a whip, I will chastise you with scorpions. Scorpions are more deadly than a whip.’
“Buhari has done his part and Tinubu has come to continue with the same agenda which is for personal aggrandizement. What are the legacies of Buhari? Insecurity, disunity, dislocation, poor living conditions and reduced life expectancy of Nigerians.
We are hoping that Nigerians are still praying for an end to this. This is not about PDP or APC but about Nigerians. We warned about this and now, we are all feeling the heat. The new petrol pump price does not know APC or PDP”, Ologunagba said.
