Phrank Shaibu, the Special Assistant on Public Communications to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has described President Bola Tinubu’s national broadcast as uninspiring and deceptive.

Shaibu said the nationwide broadcast was a complete waste of time.

He noted that President Tinubu’s speech was only done in order to convince the organised labour not to embark on a nationwide protest.

In a statement he signed, the Atiku’s aide maintained that Tinubu’s broadcast was an afterthought after removing petrol subsidy without a clear plan that would have ameliorated the sufferings of the people who he said have gotten poorer since the APC took power in 2015.

He explained that the president’s claim that the minimum wage would soon be reviewed upwards was evidence that he failed to properly plan for the removal of petrol subsidy as the discussion on the increase of minimum wage should have been done prior to subsidy removal.
