A chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Senator Ayo Arise, has said President Bola Tinubu has not disappointed many Nigerians with
Arise, who represented Ekiti North Senatorial District at the National Assembly between 2007 and 2011, stated that President Tinubu had taken the right decision by removing the subsidy, which he said was long overdue.
He described Egbeyemi as a perfect gentleman and a father by all definitions whom they all looked up to in politics. “You will notice that there was fuel scarcity for a period, the moment everybody started selling the commodity between N500 and N550, the product is readily available in all filling stations to motorists and other consumers to buy. I believe it is a fantastic solution. We can never talk about the perfect time. These people will always and continue to negotiate”.
“And we don’t have good roads, pipe borne water in many places, electricity is so epileptic, so where do we have this money to continue to give these few people? Money that belongs to the commonwealth. When they get the money, they live larger than life and the poor masses are suffering. So I support that decision to remove the petrol subsidy. It was very timely and Nigeria will be good for it. In about 6 or 7 months, we will start praising the president that he has done extremely well”.
