A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has said that the directive of President Bola Tinubu on the stoppage of implementation of hike in electricity tariff is commendable.
Oyintiloye, while speaking with newsmen, yesterday, in Osogbo, said that the directive was a true reflection that the President was sensitive to the plight of the masses.
He said that removing electricity subsidy, while Nigerians were still battling with effects of fuel subsidy removal, would have been counter-productive.
Oyintiloye, a member of the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), said the President’s decision on the electricity hike shows that he was in constant touch with the feelings and aspirations of Nigerians.
Oyintiloye, who also commended the President for allowing free and fair elections in Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa states, said that the results of the elections showed that the President is a man of integrity.
He said people were allowed to vote peacefully for the candidate of their choice without any form of intimidation or harassment.
Oyintiloye urged Nigerians to support the government in its “Renewed Hope Agenda,” adding that the country will rise above its current challenges very soon.
