"Fuel Subsidy: Peter Obi Consistent, Refuses To Promise The Impossible" - Shehu by Racoon(op): 6:08am On Sep 24

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has said the Nigeria Democratic Party, NDC, presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, has remained consistent in his position on the removal of petroleum subsidy.

Sani made the remark in a post on X on Wednesday, while commenting on the ongoing debate over fuel subsidy and the positions of opposition figures ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

According to him, Obi has refused to alter his position on subsidy removal to win popular support or make promises he believes cannot be fulfilled.

“Peter insists on maintaining the removal of petroleum subsidy; he remains consistent to his own vision; never changing his views to appease and please the gullible masses by promising the impossible. He is refusing to buy the throne with fake currency,” Sani wrote.

The comment comes amid renewed debate among opposition politicians over the future of fuel subsidy, with Obi maintaining that the subsidy should remain removed while advocating measures to cushion its impact on Nigerians.

Peter Obi has consistently demonstrated in action and words that he is a man of integrity, driven by passion for a better Nigeria.
He is the man to dismantle this corrupt system and usher in a new Nigeria.

The systems and corruption is fighting back, which is expected.

But then pledged your allegiance to a man with many corrupt criminal baggages. Balablu bulava promised; "ama gbe walé, E'lo fonko bàlé, good utilization of fuel subsidy proceeds, stable electricity, workable refineries among many, but failed, yet you lots are still trying to foist him upon this nation again

Well, that is the power of having a consistent truthful and consistent character. Peter obi has consistently maintained that he will remove the fuel subsidy, bring down price of fuel and ensure the proceeds are truly used for the benefit of the masses. He has always hampered on the corruption in the fuel subsidy

Except that Obi is already beginning to walk back his talk on not removing subsidy, albeit, unsuccessfully. Obi gambled a golden opportunity away just to earn the false "praise" of his haters and to be called "consistent" by people who are morally flexible themselves.

Shehu Sani supported Atiku in 2023 after 8 years of Buhari, but he is here in 2026 saying 2027 is turn of the South. Between 2023 and 2027, which is more "turn of the South?". How consistent is that?

I think it should be obvious now to you and your data boys that none of your propaganda can make a single dent to Obi’s followership.

It seem like the more you guys attack him, the more followers he gets. Almost similar to the cult followers Buhari had at a time.

Unfortunately, Tinubu has never been popular

Even if you are to contest today, you will have to take another route because the economy needs serious intervention and also to save the citizens from the ongoing calamity visited on them by Tinubu. Both AA and PO say there new model isn't about returning subsidy in the manner it existed before but a production intervention as seen in other climes and that will be good for Nigeria if implemented.

Granted but that wasn't Obi's initial position. He categorically said he wouldn't bring back subsidy at the NBA conference, and that is what opposition figures like the Shehu Sani are now capitalising on. Obi gave Tinubu a lifeline and put himself into a tight position just to be seen to be "consistent." Being "consistent" in supporting a policy that is clearly not working is not a flex. Having the ability to change your mind in light of superior evidence is the real courage and one of the hallmarks of a good leader.

How does he hope to bring down fuel price in a fully deregulated market where the Federal Govt has no refining capacity without creating a sort of "buffer"?

Soludo: Obi didn’t allow LP to campaign freely in Anambra when he was governor

“It is on record and everybody knows that I have twice granted the presidential candidate of the Labour Party to use government properties — government house — for his campaign without charging him a penny.

“Nobody has done that. He did not do that when he was in government. He did not even allow Labour Party, where he is now, to freely campaign in Anambra. He denied them even the venue that they paid for.

https://www.thecable.ng/soludo-obi-didnt-allow-lp-to-campaign-freely-in-anambra-when-he-was-governor/

trutharena:
In 2013 Peter Obi was demolishing the billboards of Labour Party. He did not allow them to use state own venues for their campaigns.

Now the same Peter Obi is forming brand new.
