So this is true because el rufai said ithuh?

Where do thou keep ya brain? grin
So if by your logic, if what el Rufai said recently about this current administration is not true… that means that all the propaganda you lots have been spreading about obi isn’t true…

Because if el Rufai was still in Apc, whatever he says about obi was true… prior to 2023 elections and even 2019 elections… but you all clapped for him.

Courage is not raping the vulnerable. Courage is taking on the powerful.

If as we all know there was massive corruption in the subsidy system. Who has he nabbed?

Tackle the powerful. That is courage.
It is not courage to beat the weak and poor and hungry. That is, in fact, the height of cowardice.

When true courage has been wanted, he has always backed down like a coward. Against Niger Republic when he was beating the drums of war he backed down. Against Trump when Trump was beating the drums of war, he already his legs open for insertion. He was bullied like a child.

No where has he shown courage as a president. Terrorising the poor is not courage.

The governor is happy because of almost 20 billion or plus he receives every month from FAC and others and looting as much as he can.

Truth is coming out small by small. One of their assistant messaihs is coming out to admit what weve always known. At the rate it's going Obi will soon testify Tinubu is the best president he knew. I only hope some Nairaland Obidients will not lose their sanity when that happens.

Godfullsam:
Jonathan really messed up. He was not a courageous president.

Who was tinubu during Jonathan's era as president? He was neither a governor nor a law makers. He was just a strong opposition.

You can't tell me it was tinubu that forced Jonathan not to removed the subsidy. If Jonathan had removed subsidy at that time, there is nothing balablu would have done.

That time was the best time to do away with subsidy.
And today you people will still be labeling him the worst president that ever graced the surface of the earth if he had done that,, just look at how you people keep twisting your tongues to suit your wicked ideology.

Jonathan removed subsidy, all of you including Tinubu called him the devil and protested against him, made him feel wicked for attempting it, fast forward to 2023 and Tinubu removed it, then Tinubu is the best thing to happen to Nigeria and he is courageous, Jonathan is now a weakling for listening to you people...

Then it means you people never had good plans and intentions for Nigeria and I doubt you people still do, if you people knew Jonathan was right back then and you people knowingly bullied him to do wrong thing and then your man Tinubu enters and does the supposed wrong you people labeled against Jonathan as being courageous and the best thing, omo!

How are we sure you people are not still lying with the support you all are giving to Tinubu like you people lied against Jonathan?

Don't you see that you people are the worst set of people to trust with your words and actions in Nigeria?

How do you want other Nigerians to take anything you people are saying and doing seriously?

So Jonathan is a coward for listening to you people who lied to him?

And Tinubu is a hero for doing what Jonathan was deceived by you people including Tinubu to not do?

You guys made me give up on the unity of Nigeria.

It truly takes courage to take such tough decision and even tougher to stand by it
Re: Tinubu Courageous To Remove Fuel Subsidy - Governor Alex Otti by Sirleo05: 6:57am On Mar 20
Shouldn't they have bring back subsidy in another fashion. Like for example, they removed subsidy in terms of money they pay , okay why not bring subsidy by subsidizing the sail of crude to our local refineries ? Or give tax incentive to dangote and Co, or enter some kind of arrangement with dangote on how to refine oil for us, Why must Nigerians be the ones to bear ur economic brunt ? We no ask for #1 trillion dollar economy, all we ask is go governance, because # 1 trillion dollar economy does not translate to improve standard of living, or improved infrastructure, all na just paper talk
Re: Tinubu Courageous To Remove Fuel Subsidy - Governor Alex Otti by maasoap(m): 6:58am On Mar 20
If Dangote had not built or completed that refinery, we would be paying 5,000 naira per one litre of fuel by now with the USA/Israel on going onslaught against Iran. Our leaders are dumb, very dumb

The courage belongs to Buhari who first removed subsidy in 2016, before removing it a second time in 2023 from the budget he presented a year earlier.

gabydaniels:
Aug 25, 2016
The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has disclosed that the federal government has so far saved the sum of N1.4 trillion for not paying oil subsidy.

He also assured Nigerians that very soon, the foreign exchange market would stabilise going by some radical policies already introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The vice president who spoke in Kano yesterday during the third day of the 15th Joint Planning Board and National Council on Development meeting, urged Nigerians to restore confidence in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, insisting that soonest, the current economic problems would become a thing of the past.

“With the deregulation of the downstream petroleum sector, there has been a significant increase in the availability of petrol throughout the country for the savings of N1.4 trillion on subsidy payments alone,” he said.

“Also, a more flexible exchange rate regime, we will have to decrease the pressure on the external reserve. In the short run of course, there should be consequences for inflation. We expect that with greater priority we have seen in the implementation of the policy by the CBN, the foreign exchange market will stabilise and confidence will be restored.

Otti don Dey misyarn as of recent ooo… the subsidies removal effect is only felt by governors … I want to see any Nigerian currently benefiting from it…. Oh he said in the long run…. That’s if this administration doesn’t steal the entire country dry …. Which they’re currently doing…

During a January 2026 Arise TV interview, Nasir El-Rufai alleged that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is deducting ₦100 billion monthly from the Federation Account without proper legislative approval, these unauthorized deductions have been ongoing for over 15 months, totaling approximately ₦1.5 trillion.
You believe el Rufai because he said what you want to hear while Otti said something that turns on a bitter taste in your mouth because of hatred undecided

Buhari didn't have any courage because subsidy was payed in his entire 8 years of ruling.

President Tinubu made that announcement because there was no provision for subsidy payment.

Get your facts right ✅️.

Buhari and Kachikwu announced subsidy removal in May 2016. Osinbajo announced trillions in savings later in August.

Do you disagree with these facts huh

Maybe he was truly clueless. He wasn't sure and convinced or didn't really understood the benefits of removing subsidy and so, he caved under pressure and kept mute about it forever.

Akpabio did not achieve or do more than, These were the period FG was still paying subsidy, even Seyi makinde did better works in OYo under Subsidy regime ..
