Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has rejected the increase in electricity tariff, describing it as “ill-timed”. Atiku made his view on the electricity tariff increase known via twitter. He said the increment was a disregard for the challenges faced by Nigerians. Instead of a hike in electricity tariff, the former presidential candidate said Nigerians deserve a stimulus after the lockdown.
Atiku tweeted, “I reject the increased electricity tariffs. Coming out of the lockdown, Nigerians need a stimulus, not an impetuous disregard for the challenges they face.
“Many Nigerians have not earned an income for months, due to no fault of theirs. This increase is ill-timed and ill-advised.”
