Oshiomhole frustrated plans to remove fuel subsidy by Obasanjo govt – Atiku
“But the former NLC Chairman frustrated the efforts. Even at that, the Obasanjo government achieved some measures of subsidy removal before their exit in 2007.”
And adding to the claim, Atiku added, “The Obasanjo government in which I served commenced a phased subsidy withdrawal. “I was tasked with negotiating with then NLC Chairman and current APC Chairman who stood strongly against it.” The Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency on Thursday announced the removal of the price cap on the retail price of Premium Motor Spirit .
And in reaction to this, Atiku had tweeted saying, “FG finally withdraws from the fuel subsidy and price-fixing bazaar that had been rife with corruption and stalling investments,” adding that this was something well-meaning Nigerians have been calling for and for which he was demonized.
