Before the arrival of Tinubu, no state governor can afford to do this except Lagos state

I tell u many times... Life doesn't start and end in Lagos and southwest....

From first day of obiano in Anambra state.. there is a bus they call Willie is working....

Ask ppl how much they charge for a very long distance of say 20km .... It's simply 100 naira for 8 years... No noise!

Oyo people should confirm the lie.
Inside korope and Micra, Seyi and group...e e very olorun o

Same Oyo state where I dey?

Who are the beneficiary of the purported subsidy?

FG gave Oyo state & other states CNG buses which the government use for Lagos - Ibadan transport business

Ticket from Lagos to Ibadan is 3500naira with CNG buses given to us free of charge by the FG. Let's assume the bus consume 5k naira worth of CNG and it's 14 seater bus so it means the state spent 5k on VNH whilst passenger paid total of 49k. We can't spent 44k on vehicle maintenance and driver wages just for a trip.

I'm still waiting or the subsidy but maybe Ibadan to Ogbomosho

God have mercy upon us

Truth don dey come out small small.....

Abi they looted 2.1 billion meant for a so called subsidy 😂😂
The so called public buses are rickety, extremely few and ply an equally extremely few routes. Heck! those very few rickety buses (less than 10) are only found within Ibadan metropolis .

Our leaders sure have a place in hell .
The last time I went home to see my folks . I used the train and the train stations are located in the outskirts of Ibadan. I saw a very old government bus at the train station waiting to carry passengers to the town and I shook my head .
A guy said , he’d rather pay more and use the taxi than enter this coffin looking bus 😂😂

How many times have you, yourself enjoyed this so called bus ride that you are defending here even during the time of Ajimobi ,they were not that conspicuous or noticed , so what have they done with that huge amount of money?.

Be like say something dey worry you. Before Tinubu wè had "Ajumose". A subsided public transport system established by late Gov Abiola Ajimobi. The buses are still on the road

Seyi came in 2019 added more to them. More modern. Took it a notch higher by building four modern terminals. Ojo and challenge. Both commissioned in 2022 with two at Iwo road that is already completed and ready for commissing.

So how has this got to with yeye Tinubu?

Smelling talk

Politicstoday:
Wow this is huge here. GSM is trying his best in Oyo State

u think if they audit it it will be true?

Commendable, Tinubu should stop deceiving himself, he will still need to channel the subsidy proceeds to viable ventures like this.

lexy2014:
who created the suffering that you say the governors should ameliorate?

this investment in "cheap quality education and health care so people wont have to go spend huge amounts in private institutions thereby freeing up disposable income for many families" not the same thing as paying subsidy?

what is the wisdom in "removing" fuel subsidy cos you say it is not sustainable (even though it kept prices down) only to share money for governors to provide the same susbsidies?

Must you subsidise petrol....we have turned the corner already and subsidy on that commodity is gone.....there are different forms of subsidy which federal govt is still paying eg electricity tariffs,agric inputs,hiv drugs,cancer and kidney treatment etc,if you say these aren't enough then it's up to you.....basic and secondary education and health care are within the concurrent list in our constitution and more funds for state govts can enable them initiate welfarist programs in these sectors within their states.....we don't have to keep spending humongous amounts to subsidise fuel for the rich to the detriment of the poor.

that is not what I asked you.

1. who created the suffering that you say the governors should ameliorate?

2. is this investment in "cheap quality education and health care so people wont have to go spend huge amounts in private institutions thereby freeing up disposable income for many families" not the same thing as paying subsidy?

3. what is the wisdom in "removing" fuel subsidy cos you say it is not sustainable (even though it kept prices down) only to share money for governors to provide the same susbsidies?

He is referring to Tinubu's increment of states monthly allocations. Money saved from Subsidy removal is used to increase political offices allocations of states and senatorial constituency allowances funds as well.

So, calm down. You both are right. Some of the Oyo transport subsidy was funded by these moneys and as you rightly said, Ajimobi began the reintroduction process of public business transport owned by state.

If fuel price comes down, transportation will be cheap for everyone. Tinubu government just take food away from peoples table. Nigeria will never survive under expensive energy cost.

AlbertNewton:
Wish Seyi Makinde could replace Tinubu as Nigerian president come 2027. Makinde cares about the welfare of the masses more than anything else. That's the kind of leader we need in Nigeria

in what way has Makinde demonstrated that he cares about the welfare of the masses more than anything else?

https://punchng.com/oyo-spends-n2-1bn-on-transport-subsidy-for-5-88-million-passengers/

you see this 36 states governors we have in Nigeria dey are the main problem we have as country they steal too much and di nothing justifiable for 8 years...

Is this the man who aspires to be president of Nigeria? How do people lie with impunity?

N2.1billion in less than 7 months? After all the executive robbery and oppresssion in the name of Park Management System (PMS) that has reduced struggling okada riders and numerous taxi drivers to mere beggars.

Better don't talk too much before he hits back at you with unprintable names and hauls insults at you. Anyone who doesn't join them in supporting the worst administration in history and their leader is either seen as an omo ale or Igbo. They're part of the the problems of Nigeria today.

Like followers like mentor. Tinubu said same in lagos, that he's the master planner of the modern lagos . That word alone angered us and why we didn't support him in 2023. If you want to vie for a political office, don't say what's not real. Before tinubu came, we had LSTC similar to BRT by pa jakande. We didn't thin our roads because of this. Most of those buses were different, longer, more durable and wider than his brt buses. What he simply did was add to them in the name of brt and collapsed our roads.

No governor in Nigeria or a federal minister of works had neared pa jakande in performance till date and the man didn't brag over it. The one time largest housing estate in africa called Gwarinpa in Abuja was his work. He replicated the housing scheme in lagos at the federal level.

Maybe all these GenZ who are too.lazy to learn should be enrolled in history classes. You shouldn't have responded to happney65 in the first place.

You dey mind him. Talking rubbish with confidence
