Former Minister of Transportation and African Democratic Congress (ADC) vice-presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, has argued that Nigerians are beginning to miss former President Muhammadu Buhari because, in his assessment, living conditions were better under Buhari than they are under President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, Amaechi challenged Nigerians to compare their standard of living under both administrations and decide which period was better for them.
He cited the exchange rate and petrol prices, claiming that the dollar was around ₦600 and petrol below ₦300 when the Buhari administration left office. He also criticised what he described as excessive corruption under the current government.
Amaechi further defended the ADC’s proposal to reintroduce a production-based fuel subsidy, explaining that government support would go to local refineries rather than fuel importers.
