Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has taken a slight dig at the administration of President Buhari over hike in fuel price, saying the price of fuel should have dropped if the FG truly deregulated.
Atiku made the disclosure in a tweet on Tuesday saying the hike in fuel price does not in any way support certain claims regarding deregulation in Nigeria.
According to Atiku, his view on the matter stems from his experience as a businessman who is seeing things from an economic perspective.
He said that even in the US and Europe, prices of the commodity are far lower than that of Nigeria
“I am a businessman. I look at things from an economic perspective. Questions beg answers. The price of crude is down from where it was in 2019. In the US and Europe, fuel prices are far lower than they were in 2019. If we truly deregulated, shouldn’t fuel price have dropped?,” Atiku wrote.
