Former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential
candidate, Atiku Abubakar’s Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank
Shaibu, has told President Bola Tinubu to take Nigerians back to the era of
alleged “fake smiles.”
Shaibu noted that the pockets of Nigerians are currently on
life-support, hence the need to return to the era of plenty.
He made the call while tackling Tinubu over his comment that
the good life Nigerians thought they were living before his administration came
on board was fake and capable of collapsing the country.
Tinubu made this statement over the weekend during the 34th
and 35th combined convocation ceremonies of the Federal University of
Technology Akure, FUTA. in Ondo state.
Represented by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of
Ilorin, Wahab Egbewole, Tinubu said the removal of the petrol subsidy and the
unification of exchange rates were necessary to save Nigeria from the brink of
collapse.
Recall that the president announced the end of petrol
subsidy on May 29, 2023, during his inauguration.
Tinubu said his administration took decisive action to avert
economic disaster and secure the future of Nigerians.
However, posting on X, Shaibu wrote: “If the good life
before subsidy removal was fake, then this ‘real’ life must be the plot of a
very bad Nollywood drama written by Mr. T-Pain.
“Can we at least get a refund on the script or take us back
to living in the ‘fake’ world-at least we could afford to fake smiles back
then.
“Now we’re stuck frowning in this ‘authentic’ struggle where
our pockets are on life support.”
