Raji clarified that her apology was not influenced by online criticism but by the reality of the hardship she is personally experiencing.
“I’m not apologising because I was dragged on my page but because I’m also feeling it. I’m pained because I campaigned for Bola Tinubu because many people are suffering.”
She continued, “What made me campaign for him was because in the North, Buhari opened border for them when he was the president. So I thought Bola Tinubu would also do the same after he gets to the position,” she added.
Bukky Raji, who is also a rice dealer, recounted how the current economic situation has impacted her business.
“I’m even a partaker of the hardship because of the business I’m into. I have a godfather. Me that started with just twenty bags of rice, I became someone using trailer to load bags of rice. Now tell me, am I not suffering now? We are suffering now — including those that campaigned and those who did not. Please, I’m sorry I offend you all,” she concluded.
