Obi: Removing petrol subsidy suddenly is like forceful removal of tooth | TheCable fuelsubsidy
Obi spoke to journalists in Abuja on Tuesday while attending the hearing of the election petition tribunal.
Afterwards, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, announced the adjusted price of petrol across its retail outlets — an action that has led to several agitations. “If you have followed me very well right from the time I was a member of Jonathan’s economic management team, I consistently maintained that subsidy should be removed because I see it as organized crime,” the LP candidate said.“People were just stealing the resources of the country and I showed empirically in my statistical analysis that we are not consuming the amount of fuel they claim we consume.
