The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has noted the breaking news by the Federal Government announcing a 30-day discount on petrol through NNPC stations.


According to the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele,

"We are offering a discount on petrol dispensed by NNPC Limited for the next 30 days in the first instance, with priority for public transporters nationwide. So, it's not a subsidy. The government is just saying we sell to you at cost."

This is nothing but tokenism and a Greek gift from a government that whimsically removed fuel subsidy without proper consideration, consultation, or cushions for Nigerians.

Nigerians cannot be deceived.

What happens to the millions of Nigerians who lost their jobs and whose businesses collapsed as a result of the callous and poorly planned removal of subsidy? What about those who lost their lives in poorly equipped government hospitals that have now become mortuaries?

It is clear that President Bola Tinubu and the APC government are desperate, and Nigerians must not be deceived. Emilokanomics has failed woefully.

The attempt to reintroduce petrol subsidy through the backdoor is not only mischievous but a sign of a government in free fall, ready to clutch at anything to survive.

Even the bogus promise to dispense discounted fuel at designated NNPC retail outlets is not pragmatic. How many such outlets exist in Nigeria to serve over 200 million Nigerians?

Is this not the recipe for another stampede that could have many more Nigerians trampled to death at the filling stations?

Several questions beg for answers, but the only answer staring Nigerians in the face is that the economy is in a tailspin and at a tipping point. The APC has shown itself glaringly incapable of rescuing the country from imminent collapse.

But hope is on the way.

His Excellency Peter Obi, under the NDC, will put Nigeria back on the right track. A New Nigeria is POssible with Obi.

In a few months, specifically on 16th January, 2027, Nigerians should come out en masse and vote for Peter Obi and all other NDC candidates to vote out the most clueless and rudderless government in the history of Nigeria.

Copycat is awake. I will not return subsidy. I will remove subsidy after corruption. Obi doesn't know what he is saying.

AMINDA:
APC are no longer listing removal of fuel subsidy as one of their achievements. It used to be number one on the list followed by student loans. Lessons!

AntiChristian:
This is false.

Buhari removed subsidy from the budget. Tinubu just proclaimed it as it is not sustainable.

AMINDA:
Lol. So it's now Buhari that removed subsidy? "We took hard decisions from day one" and "my government embarked on bold reforms" is no longer something to gloat about because it has aged poorly abi? No be ina again?

Ofunaofu:
The Tinubu government is nothing but confusion. A disaster

I want to tell every Nigerian voter: look at where we were before Tinubu came on board, and then look at where we are today. What you see is a stark reality: Tinubu has failed woefully and miserably.

The worst thing that can happen to this country is to re-elect Tinubu for another four years.

It will be a far worse disaster than what we are currently witnessing today.

Be warned

MrPresident1:
No politician or political party can save Nigeria from the shackles and chokehold of the Egyptians and Babylonians

The captives of the mighty shall be redeemed, this is the word of the LORD.

Emusan:
Yet you're supporting APC and Baba Tinubu.

When you people know what you're supporting is nonsense then you rope others to the same nonsense.

MrPresident1:
Gerarahia!

Power is from God alone

Emusan:
Smile...you support APC or not?

Don't bring God into this!
