A close ally of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Ibrahim Masari,
has said that anyone who voted for the president in the 2023 general elections
has no reason to regret their decision.
Masari, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress
(APC), made the statement during an interview with the BBC while speaking on
Tinubu’s performance as his administration marks two years in office.
“Anyone who voted for President Tinubu between himself and
God has no regrets,” he said.
He added that President Tinubu has recorded many
achievements, especially in the areas of security and the economy, despite the
current hardship being experienced by many Nigerians.
One of the major steps taken by the president, Masari said,
is the removal of fuel subsidy.
However, he defended it as a bold and necessary decision
that has helped the government save money and invest in development projects.
According to him, the president demonstrated rare political
courage by removing fuel subsidy, a move previous presidents could not carry.
“Past presidents wanted to do it but couldn’t. He did it
because of how much of the country’s money was being wasted.”
Masari also explained that the funds previously spent on
fuel and electricity subsidies are now being redirected to important areas of
national development, helping both the federal and state governments to
function better.
He acknowledged the hardship many Nigerians are going
through but insisted that the decisions taken by President Tinubu are meant to
build a stronger and more stable country in the long run.
