Tinubu’s staunch supporter Joe Igbokwe laments high cost of living

Joe Igbokwe

Joe Igbokwe, a staunch supporter of President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC), has alleged that those who will rescue Nigeria have not been born.

Igbokwe, one of those who campaigned actively for Tinubu in the buildup to the election, said this while commenting on the cost of living crisis.

In a Facebook post on Friday, Igbokwe lamented that a bag of rice now costs ₦100,000.

“With all the rice mills we have in Nigeria, my wife just told me that a bag of rice is now ₦100k plus. Without sounding immodest, I am constrained to say that the men and women that will rescue this country from self-inflicted pains and tears are not born yet,” he wrote.

Recently, Igbokwe, who served under virtually every Lagos governor since 1999, has been critical of some policies of the Tinubu administration, marking a departure of what he stood for.

Two weeks ago, he lamented over the hike in electricity tariff, asking Tinubu to look into it.

In a post on his Facebook page three weeks ago, Igbokwe lamented that ₦20,000 worth of units only lasted him for just a day.

He said: “PBAT, please look into the new electricity tariff in Nigeria. It will kill businesses if the government does not act as quickly as possible. I have a small office in Surulere with about 7 units of AC.

“We used to buy 300 plus units for ₦20,0000. Yesterday we bought ₦20,000 worth of units and it lasted for just one day. They call it band A group. I pray that we review this.”

Igbokwe has been a supporter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), even when the party’s ideology is taking Nigeria aback
