“Palliatives are being worked out. And very soon, if the president comes back from France, assure you Nigerians will get great news.”
, on 1 June, that Mr Tinubu had directed that palliatives be put in place to cushion the effect of the fuel price hike on Nigerians.When asked during the Arise TV programme why Mr Tinubu did not roll out the palliatives before removing the oil subsidy, Mr Adar said the president’s sudden decision was intended to evade possible “gang up” by critics against the policy.
“Any policy that is announced before it is implemented, you will see critics, without evaluating it properly, just gang up at a particular corner and start disparaging, attacking and saying all sorts of things against the policy before it is even implemented,” he stated. “What President Tinubu did was a mark of courage. If he had not made that pronouncement, I assure you, it would continue to linger till the end of his first tenure and maybe to his second tenure if he’s lucky to get it. So, he should be commended,” the former lawmaker stated.He added that Mr Tinubu, who left Nigeria for France on Tuesday for the New Global Financial Pact, would give Nigerians “great news” about the proposed palliatives on his return.
“Palliatives are being worked out. And very soon, if the president comes back from France, assure you Nigerians will get great news,” he said.
