History will be kind to Buhari – Presidency defends fuel price hike, others
Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, said this in a statement on Sunday.
Shehu noted that to stop the mismanagement of taxpayer money, eliminate corruption associated with subsidies on petroleum products, power, fertilizer among others, the government took the decision to implement long-delayed reforms, withdraw and allow the market to determine their prices.Shehu recalled that there had been blueprint upon blueprint, timeline upon timeline but courage to take bold decisions was not there.
“As President, Muhammadu Buhari takes these difficult decisions, both popular and unpopular and as a leader because he is demonstrating the right courage to take such decisions as they become necessary in view of present circumstances.
