According to the Labour Party (LP), President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has inflicted anguish and misery on Nigerians in less than a month since taking office.
According to the opposition party, the Nigerian leader has made life difficult for Nigerians by raising the price of gas at the pump, energy rates, and vehicle registration fees, among other things.
Obiora Ifoh, LP National Spokesman, told Newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja that Tinubu has followed in the footsteps of his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, with a large convoy of vehicles and bloated bureaucracy.

The LP spokesman claimed that after only one month in office, the Bola Tinubu administration is already exhibiting evidence of a lavish lifestyle and living in affluence.
According to Ifoh, it is hilarious that the Tinubu administration will push Nigerians to “tighten their belts and make sacrifices” while living in splendour and refusing to reduce the cost of governing.
He said: “It is unfortunate that this APC administration, which is still struggling for legitimacy in court, has inflicted pain and suffering on Nigerians just under one month since assuming power albeit temporarily.
“This is an administration that has supervised increases in the pump price of petroleum products, electricity tariffs, and vehicle registration among others but has refused to cut the cost of governance.
“President Bola Tinubu just returned from his foreign business/private visit and was welcomed by a convoy of over 100 vehicles fueled by taxpayers’ money.

“We are certain a long list of taxes will soon follow just to raise funds in order to maintain the lifestyles of those in power to the detriment of ordinary Nigerians.
“The administration’s policies has so far revealed a desire of the ruling party to make life harder for ordinary Nigerians because more citizens will certainly fall below the poverty line as more and more jobs are being lost and businesses are going under as a result of rising cost of transportation and energy.
“We implore Nigerians not to despair as help is on the way. We remain hopeful that there is light at the end of the tunnel and justice will prevail.”
