Craze talk. He already made arrangements for the stop of subsidy one month after his tenure and was borrowing to survive. Above all he was printing cash like tissue paper to survive.
same thing this administration is still doing. Borrowing and printing cash like newspaper

You seem to be properly educated. Do you mean your parents chose proper education over subsidy? How did they manage to do that? Did they buy fuel at higher price than other citizens?
How can Buhari be the best on infrastructure when OBJ built about ten power plants in his terms or his roads and rails the only infrastructure that exist in Nigeria?
How does fuel subsidy removal guarantee prosperity for tomorrow given the fact that the budget performed below 50% in a calendar year post subsidy removal
cheesy cheesy cheesy grin cheesy

They know the truth but as a Nigerian politician, they can't tell the truth. Even Buhari knows that he removed the fuel subsidy by not making provisions for it in the budget after the month he leaves office. He postponed the evil day to frustrate his successor kiss

Buhari allowed Nigerians to become hunted prey in their own country, Nigerians were being killed by all sorts of murderers:Bokoharam,bandits,kidnappers etc
He borrowed so much that eventually, the government would have been unable to pay subsidy anyways .Buhari destroyed Nigeria and Femi Adesina is an accomplice.

Say what you can prove when the issue arise .

Femi is one of Rochas Okoricha’s gay partners, so I will not be surprised if he has developed chronic mental illness as a result of being mercilessly fuccked in the anus by Okorocha and his gay friends

RecentHistory:
Buhari stopped payment of subsidy effective 29th of May, 2023.
Femi should realise he's but talking to small kids.
..then that should not had stop Tinubu from continue subsidizing fuel from June 2023...if Tinubu wanted to continue with fuel subsidy from June 2023 he would had continue by allocating money for it...but Tinubu had long before already decided that he will stop subsidizing fuel
Re: Buhari Didn’t Remove Fuel Subsidy, He Cared About Nigerians – Femi Adesina by ufotunang: 8:19am On Dec 19, 2024
The only thing I respect Buhari for..for keeping on subsidizing fuel... because he knew the hunger and hardship, inflation nigerians will face and he did not want nigerians to lavish in hunger, hardship, inflation, high costs of living... in which this wicked Tinubu with no conscience has put nigerians into now..it's a pity

Which of the top 4 contenders in 2023 promised to continue fuel subsidy?

The only thing I fault Tinubu in was the fact that there were no buffers or local refining options as at then.

Sure he did.

And the result of his not removing subsidy was a net forex reserve less than 5 bn dollars and debt eating 90 % of our revenue

Which forced his slave tinubu to remove subsidy eventually

Had buhari removed subsidy in 2015, by now we would have had more dangote type refineries on stream.

And his keeping subsidy contributed to the debt that forced tinubu to remove it anyway.

Nigeria was not able to sustain subsidy right from 1980s. By 2012 it was obvious. Yet buhari and tinubu led protests and refused to listen to sane economics

Result of keeping subsidy...debt eating 90 percent of government revenue by August 2022. A net forex reserve of 4 billion dollars. CBN financing the thing though ways and means based on non existent money.

Had buhari removed subsidy in 2015 we won't have been economically better, but we would have been over the worst of it.

Yes, people are suffering. But una no go like the suffering of debt eating all year revenue

Go back to school but this time ensure it's a better school than the sweat houses you attended so you can go learn basic economics, specifically what currency devaluation means and reasons why govts take such decisions......it's best not to disgrace your parents any further.
Mumu, and you don't know currency devaluation has risks, such as inflation, reduced purchasing power, and potential loss of investor confidence... I understand its not to this in a country... but the question is that are we capable of handling its size effect? ...

How can you make a policy and not think about the citizens...
Nigeria 80% are at risk of heavy poverty and you making a policy that will crumble everyone...

What measue has been putting place as finicial benefits for the people to sustain them till we move away from the face...

Go abroad and see how citizens and non citizens get benefits in covid period..

5 truck will bring rice to lagos to feed 30m people... is that a government support?

Quit foaming in the mouth like a rabid dog...we all knew this would happen with currency devaluation,wise people knew this that's why they were able to shore up themselves against the downturn but irredeemable myopic critics' like yourself were too dimwitted to realise this.

Buhari was Nigeria's worst and most clueless president. His lack of wisdom, leading a gang of corrupt officials, policy summersaults, cluelessness and wickedness put Nigeria in this quagmire. No Nigerian leader has ever been as useless as buba.

so what you are implying is that your current paymaster does not have any iota of care for nigerians.

No. Buhari stopped it for July 2023.
It was Tinubu who stopped it May 2023.

Tinubu had a a chance to look into the loopholes and even extend or reform.
Re: Buhari Didn’t Remove Fuel Subsidy, He Cared About Nigerians – Femi Adesina by OALandAgents: 7:50am On Mar 18, 2025
Buhari never claimed that fuel subsidy existed, so there was no subsidy to remove, hence reason there were never provision for it in any previous budget proposals

Before buhari became president, he accused Jonathan for paying for fuel subsidy that never existed.

But immediately he became president from the very first month, fuel subsidy payments were in all his budgets from his very first year till the last.
He never apologized for his ignorance And accusations.

However less than a year before he stepped out, he announced that "he had paid for subsidy till July 2023".


It was Tinubu's choice to either continue or stop it.


Tinubu came in by May 29 and announced stoping it.

By May 30th, fuel rose to over 600naira.
And the rest is history

No he was not paying fuel subsidy it was the corrupt media claim that he was.
