Chief Whip of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Hon. Haruna Jilantikiri, has opted for an electric bicycle, instead of a car due to the high cost of fuel.
The lawmaker, who represents Madagali constituency at the state Assembly, was on Thursday, June 1, sighted on his electric bicycle while on his way to work.
Speaking to SaharaReporters, the lawmaker disclosed that he opted for an electric bicycle instead of his personal car to run his daily activities due to the hike in the price of petrol.
“The product is currently being sold at the sum of N550 to N700 per litre at filling stations including that of the government, I do not think that Nigerians can afford it.
We are supposed to pack our cars and use bicycles to identify with the electorate because I don’t think they can afford to drive cars or ride motorcycles any longer,” Jilantikiri said.
He, therefore, appealed to the Nigerian Government to urgently address the issue and ameliorate the hardship being faced by the public due to the increment.
