National leader of All Progressives
Congress, (APC), and former governor of
Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
yesterday described the powers controlling
petroleum products subsidies in the country
as demons that must be stopped by
President Muhammadu Buhari.
The APC’s national leader also described the
subsidy as “many demons” that must end in
the interest of the masses.
Tinubu gave his view in a key note address
in Kaduna on the 10th memorial anniversary
of late Yusufu Bala Usman, former lecturer
with Ahmadu Bello University, (ABU), Zaria,
tittled “towards the economic liberation of
Nigeria: Bala Usman’s enduring relevance”.
Tinubu, who was very frank about the
removal of fuel subsidy, said if Bala Usman
were to be alive, he would have equally
called for immediate removal of the subsidy,
adding, “What I have said here is more than
talk. It is a call to action.”
“In a perfect world, I wish we could sanitise
the subsidy regime and thus, continue with
it.
“However, I have reached the conclusion
that there are too many demons in the
system for that hell to be turned into
heaven.
“It is better that we remove it, not for the
austere purpose of saving money but to use
the money more wisely that we might better
serve the people. Let us begin a process of
a thoughtful, but decisive subsidy phase-
out.
“While this is occurring, we should
simultaneously phase in social programmes
benefiting the poorest, most vulnerable
among us.
“Programmes such as transportation
subsidies, school feeding, improved basic
medical care and coverage for the poor, and
potable water projects are some of the
things that can be done with the same
funds.
“This is way we can undertake this massive
expenditure confident that the fruits will go
to the hungry, not the already too well fed.
“End the fuel subsidy. Subsidise the people
instead – Subsidise the people instead!,”
said the former Lagos governor.

Subsidy has to go ASAP. The Nigerian masses gain nothing from this so called subsidies. We need transparency in the oil system and increased minimum wage.

Illiterate masses as in ?

Yes. The illiterate masses who voted PMB in. E go shock u.

FG needs to say less and do more.

All these updates are quite unnecessary.

This is even worse than ISIS running a multi wheeled armoured vehicle over a single criminal. The Government is standing, with her hands tied hehind, right in front of a multi wheeled armoured vehicle, belonging to a group of oil subsidy scavengers, ready to run over her. What a Government! What a life!

Tinubu is high again with his overdosed magodo & maroko weed
