Just last week, a commercial driver identified as Wahab Ajibaye based in Ilorin expressed frustration over the rising fuel prices, saying it had left him struggling to provide for his family.
Despite earning N20,000 daily, Ajibaye said he took home only N3,000 after fuel expenses, leaving him unable to take care of his wife and children.
He said: “I am buying fuel for N1100 and I make N20,000 (daily) but I take only N3,000with me to my house (after work). I am the owner of my car but I am no longer making enough to cater for my children and my wife.
“The All Progressives Congress (APC) government will not end well. Nigeria is becoming worse and we pray God takes away this set of current leaders.”
