Nigerian businessman and political activist Mahdi Shehu recently pointed out the irony as Nigerians face skyrocketing fuel costs under Tinubu’s administration.
He compared the time when former President Goodluck Jonathan was in power, when former President Muhammadu Buhari was in power, and the current situation.
Shehu pointed out that during Jonathan’s presidency, when fuel prices went up to N87 per litre, people were very angry and said bad things about him.

But now, under Tinubu’s leadership, the price has shot up to a staggering N617 per litre.
According to Shehu, this shows that Jonathan was actually right back then, and he can now have the satisfaction of being proven correct.
Reactions: Jonathan is one of my Best Presidents
Many Netizens totally agreed with him, here are a few:

Petrol queue resurfaces after President Tinubu announced subsidy removal
In another news, shortly after Nigeria’s new President, Bola Tinubu, announced the removal of fuel subsidy, long queues reappeared at petrol stations in major cities, particularly in Lagos. Some stations even began closing their pumps.
Motorists flocked to Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) stations in Ikeja and Alausa, leading to overcrowding as people rushed to purchase fuel. Many parts of Lagos experienced large queues at NPC stations, which is uncommon, especially on a public holiday.
President Tinubu announced this during his inaugural speech at Eagle Square in Abuja on Monday. He stated that he was informed there was no provision for fuel subsidy and that it could no longer be justified.
