Another lies to keep you happy.

Are u in position of authority to know more than obiano and soludo.

Continue your deceptive pattern.

The fraud has been exposed long before by his anambra natives.

Evidence scattered everywhere online.

Has been exposed by who? 🤣🤣
You want to hear the lies about Obi, but don't want to hear the truth 😂
Witchcraft things doing

ThankGod we are all experiencing Tinubu Nigeria
Nobody can lie to us again how the NADECO fraud claimed to build Lagos again

Meanwhile I will drop these here.

Peter Obi is a business man and understands how it works. The man that stole the mandate doesn't understand nor know how it works. He just acted on what Obi said without understanding. He killed the Naira. What is the rationale behind blaming Obi. Let the truth be said, TINUBU HAS FAILED AND DOESN'T DESERVE SECOND TERM. Little wonder they are afraid of Obi. Mr Peter Obi is the greatest nightmare to Tinubu and his cohorts.

The CNG campaign and deployment came from heaven abi,enhanced local refining capacity with dangote refinery was built for Ghanaians abi,NELFUND is for Americans abi,your electricity subsidies is for ghosts.

What should he have done,cut off his manhood so you can be happy?

I am so sure one would bring this up

Let's tackle the CNG issue. Remember you goal is to help cushion the life of the common man on the street

Now I ask, how much is the cost of fixing CNG in vehicles ( it ranges from 400k to 1.5m) is that something the common man can realistically afford

Number 2- how many CNG stations do we have in Nigeria. Asides major cities how wide spread is CNG filling stations

For the refineries - is it not a shame that despite the trillions spend on our refineries and the hype that the port Harcourt refinery was working, where did that get us, all these things were just propaganda. It had to take a private business to build what the government cannot achieve. You are now counting dangote refinery as your achievements. What happened to your port Harcourt refinery

You talked about electricity subsidies, are you even seeing the light to even start with. Your government had to go and install solar in aso Rock because they have a tangible solutions

What I expected the tulumbu govt to have done is remove the subsidy in phases after ensuring that adequate safety nets has been put in place which are accessible and spread nation wide to reach the common man in the village

I have no problem with him removing subsidy

But at least channel the resources to let say electricity that will benefit all Nigerians not sharing the money to governors and himself.

He removed subsidy to fight the corruption in that sector. Millions of Nigerians are now suffering from the sins of few individuals.
Then you now take same money and hand it over to another set of corrupt individuals (governors)
Does that even make any sense to anybody?

Re: How Peter Obi Responded To The Question Of Subsidy Removal by epainos: 7:53am On Apr 13

The present politicians we have are afraid of one thing: deployment of disruptive technologies to erase corruption. So, what they do is talk, talk, talk during election and say what the general public want to hear. Lol. When they get to office, they see the realities on ground. What are the realities? The major ones are: 1. How their sponsors dey hold dem "blokos" to reward them. 2. How agreements made dey in front of them and are "anti good economic" policies. 3. They don't understand how bad things are until they get to Aso Rock. Lol.

I don't pity people who campaigned for Buhari and Tinubu and later suffered. Those who gained from them are better off. Lol. And likewise, I am just looking at Obedients. 99% of them would return to lament after he gets there. People like Dele Momodu are smart in their ways, but selfish. Dem wan milk Atiku. Lol. Omokri and FFK don saw that some people don't destroy their daily bread from Atiku, dem port to Tinubu. Lol.

Goodluck to y'all fighting for politicians when you don't have any connection to be rewarded when they get there.

8f you really brl7ev what you wrote, then there's no remedy for you.

Obi said immediately he would remove subsidy. He only backtracked to yes and no answer after seeing the effect of the removal.

You nailed it with the 3 points pointed out.

Your #3 played out here. Obi is backtracking because he has now seen the effects of subsidy removal.

Your points are quite valid and I really must commend your intellectually however,I like to equally make some inferences to make my points equally tenable.

There are installmental options for owning cng kits just like you can buy phones and solar equipments in installments,thats accessibility and the fact that cbg is an option,its definitely a cushion for high fuel prices.

If CNG isn't widespread, it's cause many Nigerians haven't explored that option yet and many consider it too complicated, thats not tinubu's fault but one thing is certain that thise who have got the CNG are really smiling now with pms prices going up.

If subsidy wasn't removed DRL wouldn't have been incentivised to sell to the local market.....the refineries we claim we have are deadbeat and we got scammed for those refineries,we got the worst technology in the market when we were building them thats why they remain unserviceable sucking up billions of naira......dangote is our immediate go to saviour and we should be glad its here.....things would have been really worse without it.

Nigerians for who we are,there isn't any short cut to subsidy removal than to remove it completely......you disincentivise corruption in that space,almighty america hasn't been able to stop narcotics from entering their country despite all the technology and financial muscle,how can you get nigerian govt to fight powerful cartels in that space.

Peter Obi, during his 2023 presidential campaign, strongly advocated for removing the fuel subsidy, calling it "organized crime". He consistently promised to eliminate it immediately if elected.

He consistently maintained that the subsidy regime was a massive drain on resources and a form of corruption, rather than a benefit to the poor.

Re: How Peter Obi Responded To The Question Of Subsidy Removal by RealityKings1: 8:13am On Apr 13

These are Colloquial statements.
Immediately and Day one aren't the same although they drive similar point.... If he said he's going to remove subsidy immediately, that doesn't mean it will stop immediately.

If he says he's going to stop subsidy from day one, then day one it is.

With the number of interviews he does, it's very hard for him to remember how he structures his sentences or response. Most of these words are Colloquial,
Colloquial in the sense that, they are informal or conversational language

Ask him the meaning of subsidy unprepared and see stameri.

The day he was asked on Arise TV what he will do differently if he's president really exposed him as empty. Nothing to offer.

"He Knows nothing about economic" yet has chaired all local, national and global economic enterprice deservedly and not through back doors. Can same be said of your crook leader? He even chaired the stock exchange in Lagos just heard it from Sowore himself. Even sowore admitted that PO won last election. Guy you have nothing against Obi except that is is an Igbo. Thats all

Re: How Peter Obi Responded To The Question Of Subsidy Removal by Jonjam269: 9:18am On Apr 13

A serial party-hopper who failed to deliver anything remarkable in a relatively small state like Anambra over eight years is unlikely to succeed in managing a complex country like Nigeria in just four. What we’re witnessing now is a group of disgruntled actors desperately trying to rebrand a non-performer as effective, and an ideologically hollow politician as a man of principle.

I'm not an Obi fan but APC people are really daft. No responsible human would want fuel subsidy to continue but the problem is HOW it should be removed and how the proceeds are to be used to benefit the masses.

In the case of emilokan, no thought was put into it and the proceeds s of subsidy removal has only benefited the politicians instead of the masses
