The erstwhile Senior Special Assistant on Media to former President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu, has given reasons his administration could not do away
Shehu claimed that only a new administration with goodwill that fills a warehouse could attempt to remove fuel subsidy, insisting that only President Bola Tinubu enjoys such.
Part of the statement reads: “So no, Buhari didn’t remove the petrol subsidy–but in vitally important stages, he removed every other budget-busting, egregious, economic-growth-crushing subsidy along the way. “Secondly, we are mindful of the fact that with a Tinubu/Shettima presidency now in place and for which there is a “New Sheriff in Town, we do not want to distract them from the onerous tasks facing them and the nation. Neither is it our wish to take the spotlight away from them in any way.
“Removing subsidies for the Naira and PMS was cued and put on hold. Look, for example, in the Petroleum Industry Act. The important decision was kept for a better time.
