The Imo State chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has faced backlash after telling Nigerians to stop complaining about economic hardship, arguing that inflation is happening everywhere and fuel is cheaper in Nigeria than in other countries.
His remarks have sparked criticism on social media, with many users arguing that comparing petrol prices across countries without considering income levels and purchasing power ignores the financial struggles facing ordinary Nigerians.
