Former Kogi West senator, Dino Melaye, on Wednesday, faulted
President Bola Tinubu for allocating funds accrued from the fuel subsidy
removal to state governors in return for their votes and support in 2027.
Calling out the president, Melaye said Tinubu thinks he is
smart to have diverted the proceeds of subsidy to governors.
In 2023, during his presidential inauguration in Abuja,
Tinubu announced the removal of fuel subsidy as part of the reforms of his
administration.
But the policy was recently faulted by the presidential
candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar, who promised
to return fuel subsidy if elected as Nigeria’s president in 2027.
Atiku’s pledge had sparked widespread debate across Nigeria,
with stakeholders stating their positions.
However, Melaye, criticising the president, posted on X:
“Bola Tinubu think say he dey smart.
“You took money away from Nigerians in the name of subsidy
removal and gave it to the Governors in return for their votes and support.
“Now the election is almost here, and you realised that the
governors can’t deliver you, and you’ve now come back to ask Nigerians, the
same people you took away money from their pockets to go and hold the Governors
accountable. Ko le work.”
