President Bola Tinubu announced the removal of the fuel subsidy during his inaugural speech on Monday.
He said, “President Bola Tinubu demonstrated his sincerity and forthrightness to move Nigeria forward, to be true to Nigeria when he stated before the general elections that fuel subsidy will go once he becomes President.
“He even went on to say that no matter how long Nigerians demonstrate, subsidy is a cankerworm that has stifled our economy and it only fans the embers of corruption and that retaining it will do us no good. “What he did by those words even before the elections was that he was coming to work for Nigeria and not to play politics with us. Only Chief Obafemi Awolowo used to demonstrate such honesty and in recent times, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.“Nigerians ought to be prepared as notice was given. We pray for more sincere leaders like Tinubu.
