Nigerian media personality, Frank Edoho, has berated former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, for commending President Bola Tinubu‘s administration for the absence of fuel queues this yuletide season.
Naijaonpoint reports that Reno, in a post via X alongside the photo of Tinubu, said this year is the first yuletide season in Nigeria’s history without fuel queues or petrol scarcity.
Reno said food is very much available, and Nigerians have enough reasons to smile this season, even though the country is not in the position many envisaged.
He wrote: “This is the first Yuletide season in the history of Nigeria where the following things are co-occurring:
“Fuel price has reduced and there are no fuel queues or petrol scarcity, and for the first time, Nigeria is exporting refined petroleum products to Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
“Food is costly but very much available. The Federal Government owned inter state public transport has been made free of charge for the duration of the holidays.
“The new Minimum Wage is being paid to federal workers. And there have been no incidents of terrorism or insecurity outside the theatres of operation, which in itself is reducing in territory, even as both Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa, who have been behind much of the instability in the Southeast of Nigeria, are behind bars.
“We may not be where we want to be as a nation, but things are gradually getting better in Nigeria in many ways. As a Nigerian, you have enough reasons to smile this period.”
Reacting to ..., Frank Edoho wrote, “We are so third world that the absence of fuel queues and fuel scarcity in a so-called oil-producing country is regarded as a sign that things are getting better. Reno, please stop.”
