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

DenreleDave:
He dint even offer a solution yet they are hailing me..

Chai Peter him tu lie

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

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.

IgOga:
For a nation that has crude oil in abundance.....build more refineries, invite investment in refineries, encourage state governments especially oil producing states to build their own refineries and the issue of subsidy will die a natural death.

Glycosunde:

What Peter Obi is saying in a nutshell about the alternative is that if Nigeria had used 50% of the subsidy money in the last 10years on Power we would have be generating more than 20,000MWs by now and that is one of the alternatives he means. You can see that he said he will have to have alternatives like telling Nigerians what the actual amount that is paid for subsidy and what it will be used for when removed like providing better healthcare, education and power to name a few.

Meanwhile:My household, friends and I are all OBIdients

VOTE MASSIVELY FOR PETER OBI. 2023 ASO ROCK is POssible

kozmokaz:


Truth is majority of the fuel consumed in Nigeria goes to power generation!

codelearner:




Not sure you listened to his interview, being frank with you, if the excesses in the cost of governance is curtailed, we could have 30 - 40% of enough money to increase workers pay and remove the fuel subsidy.
Who said real business men or investors could not be given license to establish modular refineries and refine these products within Nigeria, does it take 4 years to do that. The issue we have with our leaders are sincerity of purpose, if the present crop of leaders want to give license for modular refineries, instead of giving it to the people that will create value with it, they will never do that instead they will share it with their cronies and also give them some grants from our common wealth to take off knowing fully well that none of them will build.

The issue that is worrisome for the masses is that while the Government shares that we are in hard times, it does not reflect in any expenditure that is related to our leaders.

Do you know how much we as a country could save if all Presidents and State Governors take that path of Peter Obi to forfeit Gratuity and Pensions or at best take same rate on pension and gratuity as the highest grade in Civil service. We the masses are angry because our leaders ask us to tighten our belt for the hard-times but keep expending our common fund on frivolities.

Yeah he was right, but that means paying more for fuel...which most Nigerians do not want. That's why it hasn't happened.

Glycosunde:

But that is the only way to go and trust me just like he said when people see the alternative they will gladly pay and be contented. Imagine have a steady 18hours of power everyday. That will reduce those that will buy fuel and diesel and even gas as some can use hotplate to cook. It will reduce the depebndence on crude oil. T

Subsidywise20:


Yes, it would...but it would mean that we no longer spend the money on subsidy...and prices go up.

Which is politically expensive...which is why no one has removed subsidy...and why anytime people like me suggest it, it is met with abuse.

Nigerians wuve subsidy. They wuve it too much.

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.
