2027: We’re Bringing Back Fuel Subsidy – Kwankwaso Contradicts Obi by FuglyGurl(op): 9:12pm On Sep 22

The vice presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has said the party would reintroduce fuel subsidy in a different form if it wins the January 2027 presidential election.

Kwankwaso stated this in an interview with Arise TV, describing President Bola Tinubu’s decision to remove the subsidy on his first day in office as a mistake that has plunged Nigeria into what he described as a “total mess, economically.”

The former governor of Kano State said there were several ways the subsidy could be reintroduced without returning to the previous system.

He added that the NDC would focus on building more refineries and implementing measures that would significantly reduce the price of fuel across the country.

We’re bringing back fuel subsidy in our own way. There are so many ways to do that. Now we have a refinery built by a businessman and I am sure more will be built.

“If individuals in this country can build refinery, I see no reason why the government will not build refineries.

“We in the NDC will do all it takes to put the price of oil down”, Kwankwaso said.

There are many ways to do that without going back to the old order, atleast bring down the exchange rate and the price of the crude will come down in naira. if country is moved from consumption to production, there will be more to export, prices will crash. I am ready to go into farming if the insecurity is curbed.

Obi is a populist politician. And from all indications,populist politicians don't make good leaders. They're always seeking to please everybody.

Kwankwaso Shud hv been the presidential candidate and Obi,the vice. Doest have any credentials of a sagacious leader.

Who is the Presidential candidate and who is the vice please.
I don't expect Kwakwanso to say anything relating to Obi's presidential ambition and plans without consulting Obi his principal.

In the meantime, it will take nothing less than 4yrs to building a standard refinery.
It took Dangote 7yrs to build his refinery, so politician should come here and make vague statement.

All I see here is politicians too despirate to win next election without any solid plan on what to do with power when it falls on their lap.

They practically want to learn on the job.

It is clear that the bond between Obi and Kwankwaso is fragile.

1. Obi declared his campaign open without Kwankwaso.

2. Dickson invited Obi snd Kwankwaso and urged unity.

3. Obi has his own spokesmen who are isolated from Kwankwaso.

4. Obi is taking positions the north may not agree with. Kwankwaso is positioning himself for 2031.

emkz:
He wanted to create the illusion of solidarity and to deceive the gullible that he is not a bitter man.

Is there a coalition between him and Seyi Makinde? Is Dickson aware?

Since Peter Obi is doing a one-man show, let Kwankwaso do the same as should Dickson. Instead of Peter Obi to constitute a team to produce a manifesto, he is doing truancy. One of his followers said he had travelled all over the world and had seen how things are done and would not put them in a manifesto so no one would copy him. Just imagine.

Obi, you are clearly not busy. You keep jumping from one place to another, attending events no one invited you for. You have not constituted state coordinators for your party, you have no campaign theme, you have no strategic messaging. You surround yourself with content creators and buffoons who cannot even pass any sensible message beyond insults, you have no political advisors to point you in the right direction. You act like you can do it alone and end up doing nothing commendable.

Please, what experiences do Idris Zekeri Jnr, Precious Ogheamara Oruche (POO), Peter Akah and Justice Crack have in politics? Their strengths are in protests, which have accomplished nothing.

For those who didn't have the patience to read, Kwankwaso is saying that Obi will restore subsidy by building new refineries in 4 years but he failed to ask the demented Obi where the Orient refinery he built in Anambra is, because we are still looking for it.
