Electricity tariff hike: Peter Obi supports Tinubu to decimate the poor – Sowore

A former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, says Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP, supported President Bola Tinubu on the electricity tariff hike to decimate people with low incomes.

Sowore also mocked Obi’s visit to Egypt to understudy the country’s methods of generation and distribution of electricity prior to the 2023 general election.

In a post on his X handle on Monday, Sowore claimed that Obi only visited a switchboard in one Egyptian power station.

He said: “These guys are just so dumb that they wake up and “Copy and paste” slogans from other climes. This was how @PeterObi woke up one day and travelled to Egypt. He claimed he went to learn how to generate electricity (he visited a switchboard in one Egyptian power station and returned- that was it!).

“Now he is here asking to “tax the rich” as if the electricity tariff increase is not for the same rich and overfed good-for-nothing rich buccaneers as if fuel subsidy removal was not meant to benefit the Nigerian nouveau riche, as if the rich pay taxes.

“They support their Uncle @officialAbat to decimate people with low incomes; as soon as people with low incomes are further destroyed, they start commissioning boreholes for them. DUMB People!

“By the way, how do you tax the rich who hide their wealth in tax havens?
