Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
Former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to the increment in electricity tariff.<\/p>\n
Atiku, who slammed the federal government, said Nigerians need stimulus and not increment of electricity tariff.<\/p>\n
In a tweet, the former Vice President described the increment as ill-advised.<\/p>\n
\u201cI reject the increased electricity tariffs. Coming out of the lockdown, Nigerians need a stimulus, not an impetuous disregard for the challenges they face.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany Nigerians have not earned an income for months, due to no fault of theirs. This increase is ill-timed and ill-advised,\u201d Atiku tweeted.<\/p>\n
Recall that the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) had approved the Multi Year Tariff Order 2020.<\/p>\n
