Peter Obi said the fuel subsidy is a fraud. He said only half of the money spent as subsidy actually gets to Nigerians, the rest are siphoned off. That fuel subsidy (that is being siphoned) is what he will remove immediately.

Obinoscopy:
I find it very interesting that the APC Propagandist and even the PDP have resorted to misquoting Peter Obi in the quest to save the face of Tinubu. That goes to show that the powers that be are truly afraid of Peter Obi. That also tells us who the real opposition party is.....the Labour Party.

Now, to the issue. I noticed people are quoting Peter Obi tweet about Subsidy removal. I have read that tweet and nowhere did he said he will remove subsidy immediately he takes office. What he will remove immediately is the "fraud". Peter Obi believes that the amount we are spending on Subsidy is fraud as its the smugglers and cabals that are siphoning the subsidized fuel through our Ports. If you even noticed, he started with attacking the rascality going on in our Ports. He promised to immediately bring back sanity into our Ports, and that way he has succeeded in immediately dealing with subsidy fraud.

Of course he will eventually remove subsidy in its entirety but that will be after he has dealt with the fraud, and also after ensuring the refineries are working (this is including modal refineries by small and medium scale establishments) that he will remove subsidy in its entirety.

So those who are misquoting Peter Obi are being disingenuous. The beauty of it all is that Peter Obi is not shy from the Press and we have all heard him talk about Subsidy. So anyone who tries Propaganda will fail because we all have unfettered access to Peter Obi either through the Press or Social Media or even in person.

How are we sure you're not an Agbado trying to drag Peter Obi into Tinubu's mess.

Peter Obi always said he would remove subsidy asap, but however, that he was already in communication with organised labour and he would put something else in place to cushion the blow of the subsidy removal.

In Tinubu's case, we was not in talks with organised labour to negotiate a adequate compromise for the masses. He also did not put anything in place to cushion the blow

1. It is say, not said. You are a moderator, you should not be polluting this place with wrong grammar.

2. Obinna, you are a shameless liar. You opened this thread to deliberately lie and mislead Nairalanders. That is a very dishonest, shameful and unfortunate thing to do as a moderator. Where is your honesty? Where is your integrity?

This thread is a disgrace to yourself and a disservice to Nairaland. You just decided to make a public spectacle of your lack integrity.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Obinoscopy:
Peter Obi will not remove the real subsidy asap. What he will remove from day one is the organised crime within the subsidy. Peter Obi is of the opinion that half of the subsidy money is organised crime. That, he will stop from day one. The genuine subsidy he will remove after due consultation with labour and after taking care of the possible effects of subsidy removal. Things like modular refineries, revamping production, education, Healthcare, transportation are what will help cushion the effect of subsidy removal.

The one thing I love about Peter Obi is that he does not shy away from the Press. I'm 100% sure journalist will ask him questions on this and he will explain his views to everyone, yourself included.

SpatialKing:
So Peter Obi is now the benchmark and yardstick to measure Tinubu's decisions as president...

Tinubu hails Dangote’s investment in local refinery
By Kingsley Jeremiah, Abuja
04 August 2021 | 3:55 am


As efforts are being intensified for the completion of the 650,000bpd Dangote Refinery in Lagos, the project has been described as an inspiration to private sector operators in the country.

The Chief Executive Officer of Oando Plc, Wale Tinubu, who was on a guided tour of the project alongside members of the company’s senior management said, “with what I have seen, this Dangote Refinery is for Nigeria and Africa.”

He stated that the President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote deserved the commendations for the courage to build the world’s largest single train refinery in one of the most challenging business environments in the world even as the risk premium is at the highest.


Tinubu noted that he harboured no doubt within him that the refinery, upon completion, would meet the yearnings of Nigerian for product availability and ultimately de-risk the petroleum sector.

The Oando Plc CEO, said he felt a sense of pride for being able to witness this feat in the history of Nigeria, noting, “It is more than just a refinery, it is a revolution, it is about what is possible in Africa by an African, we are talking about a world class project being done a scale that the world is not used to.

“This is happening in an extremely challenging environment in which all of the infrastructure had to be built from scratch with the attendant huge additional cost, the cost of capital being high, and the risk premium being highest and done with such spectacular precision. I think the world is not going to see many of these sorts of projects. I call it the eighth wonder of my own time.

This thread is all shades of wrong.. Which can damage control be this

What is the "it" he said he will remove? The "it" is the "organized crime" called fuel subsidy going on in the Ports.

Pandora boys are not known to be bright or intelligent, they cannot even read and comprehend, and they basically live in their own alternate reality.

Relax bro, everyone must not accept Tinubu. Ibo people like me believe he was selected and not elected. They are entitled to their opinion.
