Buhari Opposed Removal Of Fuel Subsidy In 2011 by AllahIsSatan: 3:30pm On Nov 30, 2021
Presidential Candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, in the 2011 elections, General Muhammadu Buhari, Thursday, declared that the party is completely opposed to the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government.

He made the disclosure just as the Governorship candidate of the CPC in Adamawa State; General Mohammed Buba Marwa told election riggers planning to rig Adamawa State Governorship election to think twice because they will meet their waterloo.

“I am General Buba Marwa of the Lagos fame, I am not stupid. Those riggers will meet their waterloo in Adamawa. They can come but I will surprise them”, Marwa reacted to possible rigging by the opposition.

Speaking in Yola at the flag-off campaign of General Marwa, Buhari challenged Nigerians to rise up and speak with one voice to ensure that the planned removal of fuel subsidy is not actualized

Buhari also alleged that the menace of Boko Haram presently ravaging the country is caused by bad leadership on the part of the PDP-led administration.

According to him, ‘Nigerians are being deceived on the issue of fuel subsidy, The federal government takes out fuel for refining, only to come back and talk of removing the subsidy. That is nonsense and an attempt by a clique with the PDP led federal government to siphon the proceeds to be realized from the removal of oil subsidy”.

Describing Marwa as a God sent leader that will turn the lives of Adamawa people around for the better, General Buhari said “Marwa has done it in other places like Lagos and Borno, comprising two states, So nobody should be in doubt about what he will do in his own state”.

“If Marwa says he will provide free education, I believe him, If Marwa says he will provide free health care, I believe him. If he says he would provide security for lives and property, I believe him and if he says he will bring change, I believe him because he has done it before, So give him your support because he is a good man”, Buhari said.

On his part, Marwa said, “All Nigerians leaving in Adamawa state irrespective of tribe and religious leaning would be treated with justice, equity and fair play. Everybody in Adamawa will be accorded equal rights”.

Yes, that's how we will all rise up and speak with one voice to ensure that the planned removal of fuel subsidy is not actualized. Buhari should dare us and see what the masses can do.

He did, and because of that, he got into power.

The simple fact is that, whoever proposes the removal of fuel subsidy is going to be opposed by millions if not most Nigerians. That is what happened in 1993, 2006/7 and even in 2012.

Buhari in 2012, had lost elections several times, and was looking for a means to get power in 2015. Opposing subsidy provided the means by which he could get into power. He played cunny man, opposed subsidy along with most Nigerians, and got elected. Now, having seen how subsidies impact the economy, he has woken up. Too bad he could not listen to the wise words of people like NOI or SLS back in 2012.

But he isn't the reason why GEJ was unable to remove subsidy completely. The reason is most Nigerians, including GEJ supporters, who opposed and marched against it. If GEJ had totally removed subsidy in 2012, he would have lost the 2015 election by an even wider margin...plus APC would have brought it back, and reversed the gains being made.

So we kept a bad programme , which enriched a lot of people illicitly and further decimated domestic petrol production, to say nothing of getting us into more debt. Anyway, subsides on kerosene, diesel and gas went...good thing.

It's the same reason why even people like Abacha never contemplated total subsidy removal.

The painful thing is that if we had removed the thing in 2012, by now we would have been enjoying the benefits , and we would have been over the worst. Plus we had higher oil prices in 2012, meaning that there would have been enough cash to pay the poor to help them prosper.

INFACT, the partial removal of subsidy GEJ did was used to pay for things like SURE P and some improvements in public transport (just as the partial removal of subsidy by Abacha paid for the PTF). things THAT could not be sustained when oil prices crashed in 2014.

Anyway, subsidy has to go. The oil income is falling, and it is becoming more difficult to sustain subsidies. Unless we pay taxes at rates of 50% of our income .

Zombies will still come and defend him and give reasons why he should remove the subsidy.

If Buhari dares to increase fuel price to 300+ as proposed.
ENDSARS protests will be small compared to what will happen

As ilovedemanna aka aka NLpolicewoman would say let curses rain on every Nigerian who is openly supporting the evil that some people are trying to force upon us. Everyone here who is openly deceiving Nigerians by supporting evil even when it is glaring is cursed.

How on earth will the dead meat griller defend this now? Why is the apc and Buhari bent on embarrassing this dead meat griller like this? How will helinues and that josh boy defend this now?

I stand by my words...pdp and apc are one and the same and you must be a complete fool to wholly believe that any of these parties will rescue this country. I'd rather not vote than vote because some people feel that you have to exercise that right for one dumb reason or the other.

There is no subsidy in the real sense.
It is merely a creation of the oil cabal.

They keep telling us that when crude oil is taken out and refined the differencial is what is being paid as subsidy.
No body is even asking about the crude oil being taken out, are we have getting the commensurate quantity of refined fuel

And why can't we fix our refineries and refine locally
