Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Constituency Affairs, Khadijat Omotayo, has called on Nigerians to cease criticisms of the president regarding the removal of fuel subsidies, emphasising that the policy aims to benefit all citizens.

Speaking at a town hall meeting in Jos, Plateau State on Saturday, the presidential aide defended Tinubu’s administration, highlighting ongoing economic reforms and social initiatives.

Omotayo argued that the funds saved from subsidy removal have been distributed among states and that the president has already implemented salary increases for workers, with further increments expected.

She said, “I don’t expect us at this point to keep attacking Mr President, who wants dividends of democracy to go down the states. If Mr President is a partisan politician. He won’t let me come to Plateau State, as we all know it is a PDP state. But I’m here to represent him just because he wants to carry everybody along. When it was an election period, we fought for it and got it. After the election, we have to carry all the good people of Nigerians along.

“Yes, Mr President has removed the subsidy, but the resources accruing from that removal have been shared with all states. On the issue of salary increment, when last has any president of the country increased the salary of workers? So, I think Mr President needs a little thank you from us. He has not spent one year in office, and he has increased the salaries of workers and he said this is not going to be the end of salary increments for workers during his tenure.”

Omotayo also encouraged students to take advantage of the newly introduced student loan programme, assuring that the repayment process is structured to ease the burden on beneficiaries.

Governor Caleb Mutfwang, represented by State Commissioner for Youths Musa Ashoms, commended Tinubu’s administration for its developmental efforts in Plateau State.

“Mr President is doing a lot for us in Plateau, but like Oliver Twist, we are only asking for more. Like you said Emilokan, as Plateau state, it is our time for development,” Mutfwang stated.

Omotayo urged Nigerians to work collectively to build a prosperous nation, stressing the need to question their representatives rather than directing frustrations solely at the president.

“Please, we need to be asking our representatives questions and not be attacking Mr President. He is rich enough to sit down in his house and say, I’m not contesting, but he wants to bring back the renewed hope to Nigerians, and that is why he said I want to do Emilokan,” she added.

The town hall meeting was attended by market women, youth groups, labour leaders, traditional rulers, government officials and students.

Pardon!!

The fuel subsidy removal was done in in bad faith and it clearly only benefits a certain fuel importing cabal.

Woe to those who call evil good...And Who have embezzled public funds and called it sweets of office... Your days are numbered

Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Constituency Affairs, Khadijat Omotayo,

See them purveyors of lies deceit & propaganda. What are you doing in Plateau ,to dish propaganda on the failed policies of the snatch & grab mandate thief

The masses are going through the worst economic rascality of Tinubu while you are lying about carrying everyone along

Tinubu removing subsidy & floating the Naira, how does that favour or improve the well beings of the Nigerian people?

Tinubu increaing salaries, how does that improve the purchasing power of the masses. Does it bring down the market prices of goods and services.

The prices of goods & Services has trippled& you feel allocating more funds to the state government has improved the livees of Nigerians?

These people are daft beyond redemption or pure liars & propagandists from the pit of fallen demons

You have increased taxes on almost everything while the masses you claim to want to favour are grunting over taxes & Inflation

Allah will punish you & your Generation insha allah for having the Guts to throw lies & propaganda to sane Nigerians

As you don get food chop ba ?

Check all my previous post , I was the first to call out the Tinubu govt for still paying subsidy....You should know when we say fuel subsidy removal we mean the reckless hike in Petro prices by the Tinubu administration for the benefit of his interest in the downstream sector . On paper the govt claims they have removed subsidy just like Buhari lied for years .

He will always be attacked because of his Anti-people renewed shege policies.

Maybe for the politicians...

But for the masses, when will it benefit them
2 years don waka already

Nigerians will stop attacking him if he does the right thing, and reduces poverty in the land. A hungry man is an angry man. Yes, Nigerians are angry, if the removal of subsidy is not serving its purpose, tinubu should reverse it,,, we don't need it

Yeye dey smell

A paid agent defending the incompetent corrupt old thing.

.Mtscheeeu!!

This sensless idiot should keep quiet, when Yorubas were busy attacking Jonathan what happened?

This is what happens when terrorists grab power, they'll certainly run away with it.

Lol!

His foot soldiers to do the defending over here too.

Even your first born knows that Tinubu is a disaster to Nigerians go and verify

Yoruba mooselims are really suffering in this emilokan’s administration.

Some don hang
Expecting many more deaths by hanging
The introduction of sharia law and courts will definitely ease the pain

I believe one governor will still come outside to come and clarify everything about fuel subsidy removal money awọn eleribu eleleya radarada oshi aláìní laakaye awọn ọwọ epo

Tinubu should be impeach

Tinubu consistently attacked Jonathan administration. He's reaping whAt he sowed. That's politics anyway.

He is an idiot

they don't know how angry Nigerians are

Sell the country.😴🇳🇬💭
