”Did you warn your dad when he went to protest against Goodluck Jonathan when he raised the fuel price from N65 to N87?” – Verydarkman reacts to comment by Folashade Tinubu urging Nigerians to give her father three years before concluding on his performance
Social media critic Martin Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, has criticized Folashade Tinubu, the daughter of President Bola Tinubu, for her recent comments urging Nigerians to give her father three years before evaluating his performance.
Folashade Tinubu recently asked the public to be patient and advised against participating in the upcoming hunger protest scheduled from August 1 to 10.
In a video released on Monday, VeryDarkMan strongly disapproved of Folashade’s remarks, accusing her of ignoring the severe economic challenges that Nigerians are facing under Tinubu’s administration.
The social media critic pointed out that the administration’s first year has been characterized by economic hardship and a significant increase in fuel prices.
He urged Folashade to persuade her father to address the worsening economic challenges. He also highlighted Tinubu’s past opposition to fuel price increases during former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, suggesting that similar protests are justified now due to current policies. While condemning any potential violence, he stressed the importance of standing up for economic rights.
“Did you realize that people will not be complaining if your father’s first year in office was not the worst in Nigeria’s presidential history?” VeryDarkMan queried.
“Warn your father, tell him that Nigerians are suffering. Talk to Daddy for us. Did you warn your dad when he went to protest against Goodluck Jonathan when he raised the fuel price from N65 to N87? The only thing I won’t approve of is that the protesters are violent. Stand for your rights, Nigerians.
“Protest, but don’t loot. Look at the prices of things. Fuel is N700 plus, and it is still not available. See the queues in gas stations. You can’t increase the price of things, and they will still not be available,” he added.
