Tunubu govt said it saved 8trillion from the removal
We’re still asking where all the money gone to
Tunubu is a kokaine sniffling fraud
If you remember what Buhari left, he said we don't even have the money to sustain the subsidy on petrol. Invariably, there is no money to even subsidise petrol.
Despite this, there has been increase FEC Allocation to states recently, that's part of the gains of subsidy removal.
I don't like the President in person but his policies are the best, we need to all support him to succeed.

Their brains are allergic to sense, that’s why every Obi interview or press statements loaded with facts sends them straight into seizures.
What's the fact in this interview? I will remove subsidy in an organized way.

Interviewer: can you explain organized way? Obi started rumbling like Abuja wind. And zombidiots starts ejaculating again

How long will it take?
As long as Nigerians are prepared to tolerate corrupt politicians. Removing the fuel subsidies and FX control was the correct thing to do, but wasting $12 billion on a useless coastal road and $4 billion on refineries TAMends any benefit to. nation

Better to rumble with ideas than stumble through governance. Obi talked about organized subsidy removal.

Your Tinubu just heard the phrase during his inauguration, got excited, and yanked it off like a bad tooth , no plan, no palliatives, just pain.

On twitter, agbad0s are crying like you. What I find funny is that they all watched Obi's interviews more than Obidients.

Shey una dey whine us? grin

Like seriously it is now that I really understand that obi is just playing to the gallery, the guy is just looking for cheap fame.


Let's analyze using common sense, Buhari paid subsidy till June and made only provision till June in the budget for subsidy.

A new president took over in may 29, meaning he had just few days subsidy provision in d budget will lapse.


Now obi is telling us he will use another way to tackle it,obi should b asked d following questions

Will he borrow immediately to make provision for subsidy?

Where will he get money to subsidize before using his own method?

Which country or body will give a new president loan?

The reality is that obi knows the kind of people he's talking to that they won't bother to check

If not they should ask him those 3 questions n watch him go numb
Call a spade a spade. No right thinking person will on his inauguration announce fuel subsidy is gone. Then go ahead to actually pay for the same subsidy for a year plus.

If doesn't make any sense how Tinubu handled it. It's not just about removing subsidy. How it is removed matters.

From their comments we know the paid town olodos. The refurbished/reorganized BMO, now TMO. They will always jump in with multiple accounts to support anything bad governance(Tinubu), and make themselves foolish always, while defending the indefensible. Hating Obi is making him stronger by the day, keep it up.

which subsidy are they paying for?

So where are they getting money for subsidy or u think subsidy is what u can use government money to pay?..

Nigeria have been borrowing to pay subsidy, so u expect government to pay subsidy n also increase governors allocation at the same time?


U better stop relying on hear say n verify by yourself, na hear say make some people believe Buhari was cloned without knowing d meaning of cloning

Subsidy had to go because by august 2022 we no longer had money for it.

Heck we were even struggling to pay for subsidy from 1990. That's why we had fuel queue back then till 2024.

Obi would have done the same thing tinubu did. Not because he is like tinubu, but because there was no choice when 90% of revenue was going to service debts. Even the money budgeted for subsidy till June 2023 , a lot of it was non existent.


Forget politics and what anyone says to you. We should have removed subsidy in 1992/3. We didn't listen. Here we are
Tinubu led protest against Jonathan for removing subsidy, the likes of Soyinka, Adeboye. Shows Tinubu is a hypocrite

That wasn't the promise of removing subsidy to give governors more money to loot, no wonder Bello paid all his children's school fees in dollar from state coffers

Re: Nothing Wrong With Fuel Subsidy Removal - Peter Obi by FatherLord: 11:32pm On Jun 09, 2025
My advice after listening to the whole interview is please Nigerians let’s give this obi a chance to lead the country. Afterall he that is on the ground needs fear no fall . PBAT and apc has tried but their best seems to have complicated the matter
Re: Nothing Wrong With Fuel Subsidy Removal - Peter Obi by FatherLord: 11:37pm On Jun 09, 2025
To even know that less than 2000 Nigerians were responsible for subsidy scam and the government could not deal with them instead chose to inflict pain on over 200million Nigerian masses is frightening

Yep, he is a hypocrite...but the subsidy resistance has always been in Nigerian's blood. If tinubu and buhari, and company had supported subsidy removal.then..both of them would have never ruled Nigeria again.

Most Nigerians backed subsidies. TInubu and buhari were just cunny people

I doubt Adeboye said anything positive or negative about subsides in 2012. Soyinka has always opposed subsidy removal...for decades...long before 2012.

Organised subsidy removal is what governments, even including tinubu, in a way, did for decades. It is why fuel is not 15 kobo per liter as it was in 1981.

Also, we really had no money for subsidy by 2022. We had been borrowing for subsides since 2020, and the covid crisis so lowered crude prices that it had a vicious knock on effect on government revenue.

Some of you here are jes blinded or should I say cursed to tribalism... It's not about Obi or tinubu but even when Nigeria was still paying subsidy under GEJ how was the economy? We were the strongest in Africa at that time.......how much was dollar?.. Tinubu has nothing to offer it's that simple.. If pple complain too much e go carry money share.. 1 kobo 99% of you here no go see

Budget was fixed under the premise that oil would be at least 75 dollars per barrel this year. Even then govt still had to borrow 13 trillion .

Oil has been between 60 and 70 dollars this year. Even as low as 59 dollars this month.

A scary fact..we need oil to be at 103 dollars per barrel to have a budget without borrowing. That's the least price.

If tinubu listened to you and stopped boorwing, by now salaries and wages would not have been paid for 3-4 months and there would even be no money for national assembly member self. And no money to pay debts. We would have defaulted and IMF would have come to exact their pound of flesh.

I am saying this to you to explain, not to defend. Apc is the cause of the above . You promise diversified economy in 2015 , nothing happens..and tinubu even has no plans for diversified economy self.
.but Tinubu promised Nigerians during his presidential campaign that he will diversify the economy and not depend too much of revenue from crude oil sales..why has it not done it till now

even otti the labour party governor admitted allocation have increased.

All the governors admitted allocation have increased n acknowledge d president but u are blind to whatever doesn't favour your propaganda
.. even when allocation has increased for the state governors..with the high costs of fuel 900 naira to a liter, depreciation and devaluation of the naira..1600 naira to a dollar which are causing the inflation to rise and causing high costs of living, high costs of foodstuffs resulting to hunger, ..high transportation, house rent, school fees, drugs... nothing the increase allocation to state governors can do for Nigerians with fuel at high costs 900 naira to a litre , 1600 naira to a dollar which are causing high inflation and hardship in Nigeria..if fuel is like 200 naira to a litre and exchange rate is 300 naira to a dollar inflation will go down, foodstuffs will be cheap, transportation, house rent, school fees,drugs will be cheap, costs of living will be low and Nigerians will not be complaining of hunger and hardship..so all is Tinubu fault
