A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has cried out to President Bola Tinubu over the new electricity tariff plan.
The APC chieftain, via his social media handle, Facebook, narrated that he is paying more than he used to pay for his small office in Surulere.
Igbokwe – an unapologetic lackey of Tinubu – said before the electricity tariff hike, he used to buy 300 units for N20,000, and it lasted for a long time, powering his Surulere, Lagos office and its 7 units of air conditionals.
He bemoaned the drastic change, stating that the same N20,000 worth of units now only power his office for a single day, significantly decreasing utility.
He called on President Tinubu to review the new electricity tariff hike to save his business and other small businesses.
He urgently appealed to President Tinubu, stating, “PBAT (President Bola Tinubu), 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 N20,0000. Yesterday (Friday) we bought N20,000 worth of units and it lasted for just one day. They call it band A group. I pray that we review this.“
