A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, says President Bola Tinubu gave Nigerians bad news from the first day of his administration when he announced the removal of the fuel subsidy.
Featuring in an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time
on Thursday, Momodu questioned the incessant borrowing by the Tinubu
administration despite the removal of the fuel subsidy.
According to the publisher of Ovation Magazine, the fuel
subsidy removal is shrouded in mystery.
The former presidential aspirant said the lack of
transparent facts and figures regarding the cost of the subsidy makes the
policy complicated.
He said Nigeria has a kind of dictatorship where no one can
query any of the leaders.
President Tinubu, upon assuming office on May 29, 2023,
announced the removal of the fuel subsidy.
“Nobody gives bad news on a celebration day. That’s what
Tinubu did. He gave bad news to Nigerians from day one, and Nigeria has not
recovered since then.
“We don’t even have facts and figures about the subsidy.
It’s shrouded in mystery. All we just hear is, yes, we’ve removed it.
“Secondly, why are you still borrowing more than all the
other presidents? It’s a simple thing to ask, but because we have a kind of
dictatorship in Nigeria where you cannot query any of the people elected by
Nigerians, you can’t query anybody. So, that is why right now they are getting
angry when anybody goes there,” he said.
