Pro-Tinubu Convener Faces Tough Questions on Fuel Prices and Hardship
In a Thursday Arise TV interview, hosts Reuben Abati and Seyitan Atigarin grilled Bamidele Atoyebi, convener of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Ideological Group, on economic reforms like fuel subsidy removal, soaring living costs, and insecurity after three years of President Tinubu's tenure. Atoyebi defended the changes as essential for improvement and global respect, but struggled when pressed on how ₦70,000 monthly minimum wage workers cope, revealing his high refueling bill and advising smaller purchases or alternatives. The tense 7-8 minute exchange ended abruptly, drawing praise from supporters for facts and mockery from critics as out of touch, amid ongoing public frustration with inflation over 30% and persistent banditry.
