he hasnt spoken but a man who had the foresight to create the Lekki free trade zone, to vision creating a city out of the sea, to attract the worlds largest single train refinery to lagos, a man who has shown he believes in true fiscal federalism (i.e demonstrated it by risking the loss of federal allocation for many years while fighting the federal govt) has a plan, a man who showed the rest of the country how to generate IGR and whose model many now copy.....he just hasnt unveiled it yet. his antecedents speak for him so we are waiting patiently not going to TV up and down when you dont have a plan yet, lets not forget campaigning doesnt start until September.

It is the cowboys and those without a plan jumping on tv because they have nothing that speaks for their past deeds that are running up and down appearing on tv twice a day making fools of themselves always shouting on TV in a most unpresidential manner because they have a justified inferiority complex...they have no track record for their time in govt. They say he who makes the most noise has the least, truly beautiful and confident women dont do around telling people how pretty they are, trully rich men dont advertise their wealth running around in convoy, spraying money. Those who are truly ready and have a plan are keeping quiet strategizing and fine tuning their election strategy and economic blueprint not appearing everyday on TV especially with no plan...at least if you are going to appear on Tv during election time have be ready with your plan !!! The only people making noise are those like i said who feel compelled to because they have no record of performance that speaks for them. Thats why you wont see Atiku or Tinubu on TV yet. You should know that these are the questions you are going to be asked, these are the things people want to know. it shows incompetence that 7 months to an election, when you give an interview you havent anticipated questions and have your ready answers that will convince the opposition supporters. Nobody is interested in statistics. or a lesson in the damaging effects of subsidy we know that already. We now want to know "how"?

it is cowboys that come on TV at this stage and give interviews unprepared, It shows shallowness of both the candidate and incompetence of the team around him. We all saw how osinbajo's spokesman damaged him on Tv in his 1st interviews after declaration. Cowboys and those without a track record are always to eager to compensate for their deficiencies. It's not about who shouts the loudest. Nigeri'a truly richest men are rarely seen or heard, the ones we hear every day are broke tomorrow because theyve spent all their money showing the world they are now rich. There are levels to this thing, just like election day, we've all seen the helicopter meme, results dont start untill we start hearing from the big boys kano, katsina, borno,Kebbi etc, when their result come, then we know election has started!! All those early states, Ekiti, Imo. Ondo, Kogi, etc are just warm up entertainment before the main event, so also all this noise peter Obi is making. He will not get 25% in more than 6 or 7 states mark my words!!!

casualobserver:
A man who aspires to be president that doesnt have a clear position on subsidy is clearly not ready to govern Nigeria. Subsidy is costing us too much but it is clear it cannot be removed until the local STATE owned refineries are working. You dont require a Ph.d to realise that. All that "we will study" what are you studying that you havent studied since Occupy Nigeria subsidy protest?

if you dont have a clear position on subsidy, security, restructuring, economic growth, state police (on all of which this impostor has none) you are not ready to be president of Nigeria and you should not grant interviews until you do.

I dont know how a man in labour party wants to remove subsidy when it is the same labour movement that will grind the country to a halt. i dont know how you want to execute any economic blue print when we spend the equivalent of 33% of our federal budget on subsidy! 2023 subsidy alone will build lagos ibadan rail 5 times. That is how crucial subsidy is and 7 months to an election you dont have a clear position?

This man is a joker!!!!

Officialgarri:

No matter how hurting it is for the nation's wealth, fuel subsidy is one of the few ways that the government is directly giving back to the people.

I still don't know how we were cajoled to protest against fuel subsidy in 2012 (perhaps except for the looting)

What do I mean? Take a look at the price of our deregulated diesel flying high at #810, 850 and above and see the harsh effect on food prices and cost of long journeys.

If Peter Obi has an alternative to fuel subsidy that the world doesn't know of, he should hint us. It would be disappointing to ride to victory using lies

kponkedenge:


You'd be surprised that if a competent administration enters, you'd find out that this figures they are claiming here isn't even as close to what we are actually spending on the subsidy itself.

I keep saying that EFCC isn't doing enough to curb the out-of-control corruption going on in this Buhari's administration.

If we are lucky enough to have another party aside APC win the 2023 elections, the level of corruption that will be uncovered in this administration will be jaw dropping.

rant19ade:
The best way we can survive without subsidy is to have our refineries working at a capacity to service the full country.
We can't be exporting oil and still be buying at rates higher than those without crude.

Another alternative is to have adequate power supply to lower the demands on oil for the daily economical needs of the nation.

fyneguy:
Lol

This guy sensationalizes everything.

He does not address issues to a logical end.

He just reels out stats to impress listeners without offering a reasonable solution.

Subsidy is a delicate national issue. Until we have local production capacity, its removal will hurt this weak economy.

Dangote refinery should come on board. FG should strike a contract refining deal with him. He can also be paid for refining with crude oil. That will tremendously reduce pressure on forex and freight costs. It will boost Naira value, as over 50% of our forex goes to oil importation.

That is the only way subsidy can be addressed.

Peter Obi is just a noisemaker

wiseoneking:
That's a very big big lie. It will even sale more than that. That's reminds me of when he built the world largest cement industry Obajana and we were shouting then that cement prices will go down but instead, it continues to skyrocket beyond the reach of common man. It will shock you that his major interest is to export and make more money than your so called believe in the local consumptions.

rest..u seem to be a bigger joker too

who told you local refineries will stop subsidies or make it convenient to stop subsidies,...

you clearly do not understand how it works

the same money diverted to foreign refineries for petroleum product is what we will divert to dangote when he begins production in order for him to sell at N165.. no local refinery will last 2 hours selling PMS at N165

everyday is an opportunity to remove subsidies ..we do not need to wait for local refineries to spring up

SIRTee15:


buying from dangote will free up our forex. dangote will sell to local buyers in naira not dollars.
2. dangote will buy crude oil from nigerian govt who can sell to him at discount/fixed rate if they want to continue indirect subsidy. Thats how its done in saudi and iran.
Threre's a big difference between buting from local refineries and foreign ones.

Cognitivereason:


the only savings from buying from local refineries is forex...it ends there

government will still subsidize dangote directly on indirectly

tell me the difference between paying dangote 3 trillion naira yearly in cash to keep PMS at N165
and giving dangote N3 trillion worth of crude oil

please I await the difference

do you know NNPC doesnt pay for subsidies entirely in cash ..they sometimes do something called oil swap..
where crude worth billions are given to foreign refineries in exchange for reduced price to PMS to over all N165 per litre..does it change the fact that subsidies are still paid?

think naa

hero2000:
When is Dangote refinery going to start production? Even if fuel subsidy is removed, local production will still reduce the full impact of Subsidy removal.
Petrol won't sell for #165 for sure.

SIRTee15:


I'm not aware of oil swap for fuel by nnpc. if have u the link, share and let me read the details of the deal. Nigeria is part of OPEC and any crude oil leaving our shores will count as part of Nigerian quota- that is a loss. we are suppose to sell all crude oil we export.
crude oil feeding our local refinery for local consumption is different. We are not paying anybody, we still export our expected quota if we are able to meet the benchmark.
Even if govt is selling to private refineries at international rate, the final cost of fuel will still be cheaper becos its not subject to our weak naira to strong dollar exchange.
Nigeria cannot afford to buy fuel for 800 aira per litre- it will kill the economy.
