I Did Not Call For Tinubu’s Probe – House Committee Chairman Gagdi by GuruboiNaija(op): 6:39am On Nov 13, 2023

The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Navy, Hon. Yusuf Gagdi, has described reports in some sections of the media that he called for a probe of President Bola Tinubu over subsidy removal savings as mischievous.

He noted that it is not in his character to use certain words or impute any motive concerning this administration that is working to elevate Nigerians out of poverty and make things work better for the majority of the people.

The report alleged that Gagdi, in an interview with BBC Hausa Service, said the president would be held to account for subsidy removal savings, a claim he has denied.

However, Gagdi, in a statement issued on Sunday, urged the media to be thorough in its reporting and not lose its integrity, especially when it involves translation.

The lawmaker maintained: “The report quoting me to have allegedly said President Tinubu would be probed over the subsidy removal was misleading.

“Nothing can be farther from the truth in that news report. I granted an interview with BBC Hausa Service wherein I made the point that it was imperative for the fuel subsidy to go as it was only enriching a few privileged and rich individuals to the exclusion of the majority of Nigerians.”

The lawmaker explained that in the said interview, which was in Hausa, he applauded the courage of the President for removing the subsidy and not buckling under pressure from some quarters for the reversal of the fuel subsidy.

He further explained that he acknowledged savings from the subsidy and reiterated the need for prudent spending so that the majority of Nigerians could enjoy the dividends of the subsidy removal.

Gagdi noted that he was, however, taken aback by the sensational headline in the media.

He added: “It is most irresponsible, reckless, and designed to pitch me against our hardworking, committed President and his Renewed Hope Agenda.

“For the avoidance of doubt, as a parliamentarian and one of the longest serving ones at that, I have remained committed to my party, APC, its aspirations, and most importantly, the objective of President Tinubu to renew hope and make our country work again.

“Owing to the immense esteem in which I hold the president, I voluntarily stepped down from the speakership race when I was directed to.”

It isn't about chickening out. It is a matter of quoting people to what they actually said.

Mynd44, he chickened out after being threatened by Tinubu

Below are his words, now tell me how he was quoted out of context

“Despite my support for subsidy removal, there will come a time when I will ask Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu), on behalf of the Nigerian people, about the savings from the removal of subsidy. We have been signing for these savings since the Buhari administration, and they have totaled 1, 6, and 10 trillion naira. What will the Nigerian people see physically done with these monies?

“I swear that there will come a time when we will hold the Nigerian government accountable for its actions. We will ask them what they did with these monies.

“If fuel subsidy is removed, the poor should see the results in the form of renovated roads, new schools, new hospitals, and the establishment of new companies. This will create jobs for Nigerians so that they will not have to rely on the government for handouts.”

This one is chicken politician. People in the right position to ask questions and effect change are too cowed to make the right comments and take the right actions. A lot is happening. But one day is one day, the bubble will burst in a kind of revolution and the centre cannot hold again.

It's not wrong to ask Tinubu to give account. He is a public officer being entrusted with the leadership of our country.

As for men who lack balls, what are the elected LP members doing? They were voted to be the change.

What change have they brought? It sure looks like they are GBAJUEs truly.
