Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement, North West Zone, Abdullahi Tanko Yakasai, has said the effect of fuel subsidy is gradually manifesting positively to the advantage of Nigerians.

Yakasai made this known while flagging off the distribution of rice palliative to residents of Nassarawa Local Government Area of Kano State.

He said, “The hardship, yes, is caused by the removal of the fuel subsidy and the floating of the Naira, but these are programs that Mr President took a bold step because since the inception of this democracy from 1999 to date, we have been giving out this subsidy and it’s only going to the few.

“So Mr President took this bold step because we need to save more funds as we are doing now so that we can do other things, other developmental projects like infrastructure, like in agriculture, health and other critical sectors of the society. So we were so surprised that within all these years, none of this refinery has come on board. But within this administration of His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we’ve seen Port Harcourt Refinery come on board.


“For years our refineries were down and they have started working today which means they refused to repair the refineries. How much is the price for petrol now? It is dropping down by the day.

“This is a remarkable feat and it’s making its production at 60 percent capacity. Just two weeks ago, the GMD of NNPC, Mele Kyari, also came out to say that the Warri Refinery is running and he has taken media houses, he has taken you people there, he has taken well-meaning Nigerians there to go and verify. So these are all things to tell you that His Excellency President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is so determined to make sure he turns around the fortune of this country.”

He added that the government is ever determined to support those at the lower cadre of the society, the vulnerable, hence the distribution of rice to people at the grassroots, especially party members and women.

“This is just a local government and as we have 44 local governments in Kano, this is just the flag of we’ll go around all the 44 local governments and distribute this rice so that people will have it as palliative. We’re not saying it will go around everyone, but the little that we can do, we’ll do to alleviate the suffering of the people.


“We are giving 200 bags of rice for each local government, that is for the 44 local governments, we intend to give 4,400 bags of rice.”

Yakasai made this known while flagging off the distribution of rice palliative to residents of Nassarawa Local Government Area of Kano State.

So sharing of rice palliative is a reflection of the positive effects of subsidy removal

We sure have a long way to go in this country

from 1999 to date, we have been giving out this subsidy and it’s only going to the few.

So what are you now giving out to Nigerians? What have Nigerians gained since you removed the subsidy except high cost of living and hardship?

When you're been fed by Tinubu my dear you shouldn't talk fim. You nor nor wetin life dey talk.

It is expected.

As a special assistant, the very reforms you say the masses must endure are subsidised for you. Government pays for your fueling, your travels, grants you easy access to foreign currencies and other privileges that insulate you from the same policies you are justifying.

The questions I continue to ask are:

1. If fuel at N985 is seen as ok today, why did BAT condemn fuel at N145 in 2012 with subsidy removed?

https://dailytrust.com/flashback-how-tinubu-criticised-jonathan-over-petrol-subsidy-removal/

2. In his 2023 campaign, bat promised to bring down the price of pms which was around N175 at the time. So how come he and his supporters are arrogantly rejoicing that pms has 'come down' to N985?

3. In 2014, bat said the foreign exchange rate of N217:$1 was too high and showed Government incompetence. So, why is he now saying that N1600:$1 is a good deal and a sign of progress?


4. In his 2023 campaign, bat promised to reduce the rate from N600:$1 to N300:$1... so why is N1600:$1 now being touted as an achievement?

Until bat explains these his somersaults, he will continue to be seen as a liar, deceiver, selfish and cunning man who prioritises his selfish interests over the good of the masses.

Good

my brother all you wrote here are the truth about double faced Tinubu, honestly apart from those benefiting from Tinubu, its only a complete fool or buffoon that will not see Tinubu for whom he is ,a complete disaster

Positively!

Foolish set of people. They have mortgage their conscience just for dough on Tinubu's table. I wonder why Nigerians have not been holding these crude personalities responsible for their inefficiency.

To be clear, Tinubu didn't fix the PH refinery; Buhari awarded that contract before leaving and this has nothing to do with fuel subsidy removal.

Until Nigeria adopts a punitive system that allows the people to stone public office holders to death for their incompetence, these folks will keep gaslighting the masses.

Only the blind won't see it...









.. Especially the dwellers of the 'DOT IN THE CIRCLE'

In a negativelylyyyyyyy way

Abeg show me

Not seeing any positive reflects of your economic impact on the masses in the country, instead they’re crying more.

Let them give us d impact openly. Not close door

Yeah! Positivity really manifesting...

Is he talking to us?

Where are the CNG mass transit buses promised by the government?

How has subsidy removal helped the government achieve Tinubu’s eight point agenda for Nigeria between August 29 2023 to August 28 2026?

1. food security;
2. poverty eradication;
3. growth,
4. job creation;
5. access to capital;
6. inclusion;
7. rule of law; and
8. fighting corruption

And the 50 million jobs promised between 2023 to 2026

Rice

They all know but their prayer is that Nigeria should not work so that they can see something to campaign against Pa Tinubu.

To every Igb0 here, this is Yoruba's turn so wait for your own turn (if it will come at all)

The Northerners know 2037 is their turn and they will run it as they like just like Buhari did.

2037-2045 SS will take over and run the country as they like.

Wailers can wail till eternity

'..POSITIVELY. ...' indeed

In their own pockets.

...by making more money available for looting.

Mr.Tinubu is surrounded by coconut heads who always advise him wrongly.
The Tinubu Propaganda Team.

People wey once called Buhari savior

Government of Disaster and Calamity

Manifesting in form of hunger and reduced standard of living. T-pain works.
