Labour party is a party of hypocrites. No serious person will take them seriously.

NEIGHBOUR:
Can you deny Obi didn't promise to remove fuel subsidy immediately after being sworn in if he should win?
Everything should not be politcised bro.

Obi: Petrol subsidy is organised crime — it would go immediately I become president
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has described the petrol subsidy regime in Nigeria as “organised crime”.

Obi said this on Sunday during a town hall meeting organised by Channels Television.

Nigeria spent a total of N6.210 trillion on petrol subsidy, also called under-recovery shortfall, between 2013 to 2021.

Last year, the federal government announced that it will stop spending on subsidy from June 2023.

The LP presidential candidate said if he is elected into office, the payments will stop immediately.

“They have removed it. That is what they’ve done. But I can assure you, it will go immediately. Subsidy, I have said it before is organised crime and I will not allow it to stay a day longer,” Obi said.

“What they are telling you is not what it is. Half of what is being mentioned is not subsidy. First is that we consume the quantity that is not supposed to be consumed here.

“We are the same population as Pakistan. They consume below 50 percent of what we consume.

“So, the first half, I will remove it so we can save the money.”

The LP candidate, who flayed the country’s public debt stock, added that the money spent on petrol subsidy should be channelled into social development.

“Look at this year’s budget. Education, which is the highest since this government came, is about N2 trillion. Health, which is the highest since this government came, is about N1.5 trillion. Then infrastructure, which is roads and everything, is about N1 trillion,” he said.

“These three critical development areas are receiving N4.5 trillion. Subsidy is N3.6 trillion half year. So, if it’s a full year, it is about N7 trillion. Which country will invest more in subsidy than education and health and even roads? It doesn’t make sense.”

Etranshub:
We have been on this subsidy scam for too long.. So there is no perfect timing lets just remove asap and face whatever is going to come off it

So you are one scamming us through dubious subsidy. All of you should first be arrested, the our scammed money be recovered from you, before talking of subsidy remover, thieves.

Obidients would not see this throw back.

Who gives a flying fvck about their condemnation! A party that completely lacks experience about national matters seeking relevance.


LP should be planning towards 2031 which still would be an effort in futility, as power would be returning to the North.

Which power Retuning to North?

Did North gave South power?

For your information Atiku Won North.

If not that Obi contested, power would have remained in the North.

Muslim Muslim ticket after a Muslim president nko?

Rotation of any kind has died a natural death in this 2023 elections.

PDP was in opposition for 8 years that Buhari reduced Nigeria to a pariah status but could not speak like an opposition party , but Labour Party is out to give APC restless time.

Must you disgrace your entire clan with foolish remarks in a space like this?

Labour party is a group of propagandists parading themselves as Saints. In the 2023 budget fuel subsidy wasn't taken care of at all by Buhari's administration. So, I wonder how it is the handiwork of Tinubu and you will see some half-baked graduates trying to seek relevance from unsuspecting Nigerians who are gullible!

XY23:
Lol. In essence PBT copied PO? Well, the party has jut interpreted what they meant by 'immediately', as it is their right to do so. If you feel it doesn't need interpretation, why are SANs in court over 'AND'? Naija na cruise, we are all adjusting, no need throwing banters. To be candid, nobody has questioned PBT's intention, he only did it the wrong way undermining the 'Nigerian' factor in everything.

From my following of the campaign, BT was the first to declare that subsidy must go.... Thereafter PO and atiku quickly regurgitated same words

Racoon:
I totally disagree with the leadership of the LP on this condemnation issue. Fuel subsidy is an unnecessary evil perpetuated by the demons in the APC for 8 years after calling it a fraud without having a zilch about its intricacies.

Now if the same APC is cornered to dispose of it on accountxof the associated economic implications, then so be it. After all, that is what a Peter Obi regime also planned to do.

Wow! Racoon so you can talk like this?

Hahahahaha stupid hypocrites.

We better take a census now, let's know how many people will remain alive after this APC slaughter that is coming.

Will you be one of them?

Bunch of losers, wasn't this on their mandate?

Experience ko inexperience ni

If Tinubu is experience, he won't remove subsidy with inugural speech. But he can still do it within the next 4 weeks

okay APC wey get experience where we dey now awon eda eyan jatijati oshi alaini lakaye

mrvitalis:
Immediately doesn't mean the day you took over office


Yes the processes to remove it can start but final removal would take months

Tinubu knows instant removal is not possible but wanted to sound smart buy it backfired

Nigeria has decide fuel subsidy would go after June ...so what's the need to make I'll thought announcement

This shoes Tinubu can't comprehend the briefing he received which confirms our earlier notion he is not sound mentally

Whether sound mentally or not, Tinubu, a Yoruba man, will rule you and your parents for 8 years.

THIS ISNT TIME TO PLAY POLITICS BUT TIME TO BE REALISTIC!LABOUR PARTY MUST BE WARNED!!

Even at that so at your inaugural speech you just blurt out Subsidy is gone!
Una no dey understand simple English?
You go plan first na consult with relevant stakeholders
Na wah una mumu plenty oh!
Only Cornfussed brains support Tinubu

Gajagojo:
Tinubu got majority in NW and NC

Atiku got majority in NW and NE, NC was evenly shared.

Which is the KKK State did Tinubu win?

Tinubu goofed big time.

But I can't say I am surprised.

In fact, I am expecting more goofs from the gaffer.

Don't mind them.

They will defend rubbish until they can no longer.

I am just going to have a fun time watching them squirm as they try to riggle in and out of the rubbish they find themselves in.

Party of hypocrites and extremists.

This is their loser of a presidential candidate's tweet on 8th of jan., saying if elected, he would remove fuel subsidy immediately .
What is the difference between what Tinubu did and what Peter Obi was playing on doing?


Ask PDP, una go soon tire. I give you just 6months of wailing. Body go rest.

They lack experience about national matter, while your cursed party has experience in making life unbearable to Nigerians.

First day after swearing in, fuel jumped to 900 naira and naira value dropped.

Shame on you, dear urrchin
