According to The Nation, he stated this during his first presidential media chat on Monday, December 23.

Speaking on fuel subsidy removal, he narrated how one of his friends who has five Rolls-Royces abandoned them to drive his Honda Accord.

“My friend used to have about five Rolls-Royces. The other day I saw him in his Honda Accord.

“Oh, then why? He said that’s where you put me; I said I didn’t put you there. He stated that because of the fuel price, he could no longer maintain five luxury vehicles.

“It’s not negative to learn to manage; you’ll learn to control your electricity bill. Switch off the light; let’s learn to manage.”

The commission said the amount covers the bill for electricity supply for the third quarter of 2024.
