In a surprising turn of events, Nigeria’s ex-president, Muhammadu Buhari, has expressed his approval of president Bola Tinubu’s recent fuel price hike, attributing the decision to a potential decrease in visitors to his hometown, Daura.
Speaking in Hausa during his address on Sunday, Buhari humorously revealed that he welcomed the decision, foreseeing a potential reduction in visitors to his native Daura town in Katsina State. He playfully remarked that the fuel price increase could lead to fewer visits, thereby providing him with more privacy.
In addition to the lighthearted comment, Buhari also addressed a pressing issue in Katsina State – the problem of drug abuse. Emphasizing the significance of tackling this issue, he highlighted the importance of safeguarding the well-being and potential of the nation’s youth.
“A nation’s greatness is measured by how it safeguards its people. Our youths represent our valued asset, and protecting their well-being is crucial for our nation’s future,” Buhari stated. He went on to urge unity and decisive action against drug abuse in the state, emphasizing the collective responsibility to ensure a better future for the country.
In a surprising turn of events, the former president’s endorsement of the fuel price hike took a light-hearted twist, showcasing his ability to blend humor with serious discussions on critical societal issues.
