I find it very interesting that the APC Propagandist and even the PDP have resorted to misquoting Peter Obi in the quest to save the face of Tinubu. That goes to show that the powers that be are truly afraid of Peter Obi. That also tells us who the real opposition party is.....the Labour Party.

Now, to the issue. I noticed people are quoting Peter Obi tweet about Subsidy removal. I have read that tweet and nowhere did he said he will remove subsidy immediately he takes office. What he will remove immediately is the "fraud". Peter Obi believes that the amount we are spending on Subsidy is fraud as its the smugglers and cabals that are siphoning the subsidized fuel through our Ports. If you even noticed, he started with attacking the rascality going on in our Ports. He promised to immediately bring back sanity into our Ports, and that way he has succeeded in immediately dealing with subsidy fraud.

Of course he will eventually remove subsidy in its entirety but that will be after he has dealt with the fraud, and also after ensuring the refineries are working (this is including modal refineries by small and medium scale establishments) that he will remove subsidy in its entirety.

So those who are misquoting Peter Obi are being disingenuous. The beauty of it all is that Peter Obi is not shy from the Press and we have all heard him talk about Subsidy. So anyone who tries Propaganda will fail because we all have unfettered access to Peter Obi either through the Press or Social Media or even in person.

He said he would immediately remove it.

So Peter Obi is now the benchmark and yardstick to measure Tinubu's decisions as president...

Raskimonojendor:
He said he would immediately remove it.

Don’t mind them!

Even when words stare at them, they still always find a way to argue baselessly.

Why they never take responsibility, they always have something to blame!

Raskimonojendor:
He said he would immediately remove it.

What is the "it" he said he will remove? The "it" is the "organized crime" called fuel subsidy going on in the Ports.

The it is fuel subsidy.

Fuel subsidy is an organized crime, and I will remove it immediately...

He said he would remove fuel subsidy immediately. Don't try to be smart by half.

"...I can assure you it will go immediately" - Peter Obi

Don’t mind those uneducated lots.

With facts staring at them, they find it difficult to make sense. When you query them with facts, they start shifting goal post.

If you hear him, he said he will remove it and give those that are drinking the fuel subsidy water. I'm sure you surely understand what he is saying.

🤣🤣🤣

Was that a proverb? Did he really say that publicly?

You see why I always emphasize that Peter is not brilliant and a scam.

What’s the meaning of that gibberish?

Raskimonojendor:

Peter Obi said the fuel subsidy is a fraud. He said only half of the money spent as subsidy actually gets to Nigerians, the rest are siphoned off. That fuel subsidy (that is being siphoned) is what he will remove immediately.

HacheNoire:

Yeah he actually said that. He said those who are siphoning fuel subsidy will be given water instead of giving them money that should have been going towards education and Healthcare

Pandora boys are not known to be bright or intelligent, they cannot even read and comprehend, and they basically live in their own alternate reality.

Oga, he no concern us weda he talk am abi he no talk..

Tinubu is your president, deal with that and stop parading yourself as a nuisance upandan.

Relax bro, everyone must not accept Tinubu. Some people believe he was selected and not elected. They are entitled to their opinion.

9jatriot:

We really dodged a bullet.

so Tinubu performance will be based on Obi campaign promises?


You folks should go easy. Tinubu wanted presidency,he already got it. Now it's time for him to carry the responsibilities of his actions.

Obi should not be the yardstick upon which Tinubu achievements and policy directions will be based

9jatriot:
Him never enter power una don de deny campaign promise for am?

Thank God.

He will never come close to 3rd place again.

No need to change goal post. We are only calling out your hypocrisy.

Tinubu has already said no one should pity him because he asked for the job. So nothing to worry about. Na wen una wen come de form wise we go bring out receipt.

Who cares what he said. He is not the president.

1. It is say, not said. You are a moderator, you should not be polluting this place with wrong grammar.

2. Obinna, you are a shameless liar. You opened this thread to deliberately lie and mislead Nairalanders. That is a very dishonest, shameful and unfortunate thing to do as a moderator. Where is your honesty? Where is your integrity?

This thread is a disgrace to yourself and a disservice to Nairaland. You just decided to make a public spectacle of your lack integrity.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Removal of fuel subsidy was not his action as president.

really?

You still playing "we versus them"?

Elections and handover are over. Whoever that sits on the throne takes responsibility for decisions.

Buhari told us subsidy doesn't exist and yet he paid. So as a leader, you weigh your options carefully once the baton is handed over to you.

You don't just speak carelessly and start explaining yourself later or telling us that the other candidate said the same thing. The ripple effect of his statement is what we're suffering and not that subsidy is gone.

Subsidy payments are available until June but over excitement made Tinubu announce it is over and here we are

Ajagunakin:


Removal of fuel subsidy was not his action as president.

it is as a result of him speaking out of line. Subsidy payments are still on until end of June. June never reach and Tinubu announced it is over. Na the cause and effects we dey now

He did not speak out of line, he only let Nigerians know he won’t be bringing it back. It’s gone and gone for good. Thanks to the old administration.

he read out of script. Go check the video and the script for you to understand the cause of this quagmire.

What he said isn't exactly how it was written on the script and that's why his media handlers had to come out to clarify the statement when the ripple effect started
