President Bola Tinubu has said the heat from critics agitating against the removal of fuel subsidy was “high voltage.”


Tinubu said despite the very high criticism from Nigerians, the country is better off with the fuel subsidy removal.

He spoke during the interfaith breaking of fast with members of the House of Representatives on Friday.

The president lamented that most Nigerians found it very difficult to understand the direction of his thinking regarding fuel subsidy removal and foreign exchange floatation.

He said: “It was initially very difficult at the beginning for people to realize the direction of my thinking but I’m glad that with the heat of the critics, none of you came to me to say can you reverse the removal of subsidy or can you change the foreign exchange floatation of naira? I am glad we are out of the dark tunnel.

“You collaborated and joined together as a team and gave me the inspiration to move on because the heat was high voltage from the critics but today we are better off for it.

“And if there is anything that you deserve, you deserve a second term subject to our party and your party.”

Na because we no dey distracted with the market noise..

Didn't you criticised and protested when GEJ removed same subsidy? Any way it is good you removed it, and in so doing confirmed how weak GEJ was. But the positive effects of the removal is yet to be felt, rather you are pressing people's neck with tax and porverty.

Tinubu is practically hosting a masterclass in explaining the Obvious 101, clarifying what most people already understand, except, of course, the headless mobs.

Honestly, he need not exhaust himself. They are less interested in facts and more committed to marketing their neatly packaged fraud to Nigerians.

As for the philosophy third class credentials being paraded about, one begins to wonder whether the lectures were attended in person or by proxy, because I don't understand how a graduate doesn't know difference between venom and anti-venom.

Get a good book in English language, study it very well. Concentrate on grammar.

Truly you should rejoice
Only once in a generation does a leader have the opportunity to lead mugus who are daft enough to swallow his hypocrisy and about-turn like yours.
From organizing and goading them against subsidy removal to economically immolating and demobilizing them with same fuel subsidy removal in a span of two decades, yet they roll out the drums to dance and thank you for counting them worthy to be your economic and social guinea pigs
But the hard fact remains that no truly viable nation is built on hypocrisy of the leaders and sycophancy of a mob of brainwashed followers who believe that every fart from their god is a glorious burst of deodorant
I congratulate you once again. They will remember you as the man who rode on their backs to political eldorado. But what will history see you as?

Thunder strike you. You and who are out of that tunnel?

Nigeria was not better off. If you study the history of this country. Price increases has never work in nigeria.

It end up creating more problem.

His only victory was subsidy removal others couldnt remove.

Mandate fake. Policies, cataclysmic.
Infrastructure, misplaced. Priority, 2027.
Debt, skyrocketing. Food, still rising.
Power, as epileptic as ever. Healthcare, in chaos.

the clowns advising him must have told him so. Out of the tunnel but borrowing average of N1.1 trillion a month.
The clown cannot apprehend 1,000 bandits out of potentially hundreds of thousands available.

Food have started going up again. Ramadan will be sweet this year.

And it is still high because they can't see all you promised to do with the subsidy money instead it's more borrowings upon borrowings.

While President Bola Tinubu is right that removing fuel subsidies was necessary and inevitable for Nigeria’s long-term economic stability, it is important to stress that what has truly helped cushion the resulting hardship is the operational impact of the Dangote Refinery.
In as much as subsidy removal is desirable for fiscal sustainability, the real mitigation of severe economic pressure on Nigerians comes from local refining capacity, which reduces import dependence, eases forex strain, and helps stabilize fuel supply and prices.

Omo niger don spoil jorr

Look at this shameless criminal talking.
