How are we sure you're not an Agbado trying to drag Peter Obi into Tinubu's mess.

Peter Obi always said he would remove subsidy asap, but however, that he was already in communication with organised labour and he would put something else in place to cushion the blow of the subsidy removal.

In Tinubu's case, we was not in talks with organised labour to negotiate a adequate compromise for the masses. He also did not put anything in place to cushion the blow



Give one example of cushion effect you think Tinubu should have implemented the very day he announce subsidy is gone .. just one

There is no provision for subsidy in the budget for July so Tinubu is actually right when he said subsidy is gone.

The past administration removed fuel subsidy before handing over to the current administration so let everyone chill abeg. The focus should be on how to cushion the effects of subsidy removal and have a reasonable pump price for PMS and other petroleum products.
Gbam!

If Tinubu had no policy to cushion the effect of this sudden petrol subsidy withdrawal, why did he run to become the president?

For months, Peter Obi traversed the nation, telling them what he intends to do. Tinubu that didn't face any of the Nigerian media gatherings once, all through the campaign season, was supported by his fellow ethnic terrorists, rigged himself into office.

All of a sudden, the subsidy is withdrawn, without following the procedure that Peter Obi kept harping on, all through the campaign season.

Today, from the onset of his administration, Tinubu has already proven to be vastly inferior to Peter Obi.

Peter Obi said severally, that before subsidy is suspended, that there has to have been extensive consultation with NLC, TUC and that some policy has to be adopted to cushion the effect.
Tinubu only read the part about withdrawing the subsidy, but did not consult organised labour, and did not put in a policy to cusion the effect.

I even have a policy that can be implemented to cushion the effect, but Tinubu is the one that ran for presidency, boasting that he built Lagos.
Let him come up with his own policy.

The competent people are gradually separating from the incompetent people. This is no longer mouth-action. He claims to be better than Peter Obi. You could have fooled me grin grin

Is fuel the Only business/activity of Nigeria government, Is fuel subsidy the only problem Nigeria has on her plate, what about power, insecurity, inflation and corruption.

I asked you a simple question, mention one cushion effect you think Tinubu should have implemented on the 29th that would creat an immediate relieve, abi nothing dey your head

If you can't, then mention one of the cushion effect Peter Obi proffered to implement upon subsidy removal, i.e share Peter Obi solution on day one lets check how feasible it is

Peter Obi will not remove the real subsidy asap. What he will remove from day one is the organised crime within the subsidy. Peter Obi is of the opinion that half of the subsidy money is organised crime. That, he will stop from day one. The genuine subsidy he will remove after due consultation with labour and after taking care of the possible effects of subsidy removal. Things like modular refineries, revamping production, education, Healthcare, transportation are what will help cushion the effect of subsidy removal.

So because fuel is not the only business of government, that's why you justify the plunging of millions of Nigerians into unnecessary anxieties and sufferings.

To be ready for government, one has to appreciate that one has to be looking into various concerns simultaneously, and ensuring that every concerned is well looked into, and solve gracefully.
You don't jump from inauguration, to meting out unnecessary punishment on long-suffering Nigerians.

Tinubu ran to become the president. He even declared EMILOKAN. He shouldn't be relying on Peter Obi's policies. Let Tinubu and Onanuga and MC Oluomo come up with their own policy to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal.

While Tinubu and his devilish gang have been planning on unleashing violence against non-Yorubas in Lagos, especially the Igbos, Peter Obi was busy consulting with organised labour and other interest groups, fine-tuning his policies and reaching compromises to ensure his policies don't hit the wrong note with the general populace.

This is time for Tinubu to shine, and he totally failed. Total collapse. All these while we told you lot that Obi bested both Tinubu and Fashola in all the 5 developmental indices, while he was the governor, but you all claimed that Tinubu single-handedly built Lagos (totally ignoring the 100 of billions of federal government dollars that was poured into Lagos).

Let us all thank God that Peter Obi is pursuing his case in the tribunal, and will hopefully reclaim his mandate to clean up the monumental mess that both Buhari and Tinubu left.

You are just jumping all over the place without any direction, you said why did Tinubu become president when he knows he has no cushion effect for subsidy removal ... i schooled your ignorant ass now you trying to creat a ocean from a pit hole.
As far as the fact is concerned, Tinubu did nothing wrong, Nigerians are just there own problem, selfish, greed, a country where everyone want to outsmart each other, we can't blame that on Tinubu.

You are just arguing like a retard kid, Tinubu as failed 🤣 assuming it was Peter Obi he would have built refinery before the expiration of subsidy by june or assuming it was Peter Obi he would have share money we don't even have as palliative measure for people or what ? consultations preceeds taking decision, the previous administration has taken decision, so what consultation is Tinubu going to make when decisions have taken on subsidy already.

Listen kiddo, elections are over even inauguaration is long over, save your arguement for 2027 campaign again, meanwhile let reasonable adults discuss the way forward for Nigeria.

FG cannot even pay that. It is owing NNPC $6 billion and has no money to pay
Mind you this is based on the official and fraudulent official exchange rate

I don't how to explain it to you so you can comprehend what Peter Obi was saying. Peter Obi has always said that Fuel Subsidy is a scam. This is because there is the "real fuel subsidy" and there is the "organized crime fuel subsidy". The cost for both are the same. So that implies that half of our sovereign wealth is being siphoned by the organised crime aspect of fuel subsidy. That is what he will remove on day one. That's a low hanging fruit he will take care of without consulting anyone labour unions or congress or his cabinet. The other he will deal with thereafter and he even said how he will take care of the other.

Anybody who has been following the PIA 2021 implementation knows that the era of PMS subsidy is up. It was only a matter of when.

All of the candidates knew that the 2023 budget only covered payments up to the end of June. All of them spoke against returning it.

Only BAT talked about the potential protests and his readiness to deal with it.

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.

Don’t make blind arguments.

And so sick of you to suggest that my positions are informed by emotions and not reason.

Obi gave a breakdown of the processes he would take to remove subsidy. He didn’t say it was going to be a knee jerk approach like your lord and savior just did.

Your lord and saviour copied the idea without asking questions about the intricacies of the idea.
