Former Chairman, Governing Board of the Projects Development Institute, Enugu and All Progressives Congress (APC) 2023 senatorial candidate for Benue South, Comrade Daniel Onjeh, has appealed to Nigerians to look beyond the immediate constraints which the removal of fuel subsidy is impacting on the populace and rather, rally support for President Tinubu’s policy of total deregulation of the downstream sector of the petroleum industry.

In a statement on Sunday, Onjeh stated the good intentions of the Federal Government for introducing fuel subsidy ab initio had long been betrayed by the powerful and greedy cartel that was using the policy as a conduit pipe to siphon the collective wealth of the nation.

He said fuel subsidy removal was a bitter pill that Nigerians have to swallow someday, somehow to set the economy on a good course and Tinubu had demonstrated the political will, courage and determination to finally free Nigeria from the shackles of fuel subsidy, by announcing its total removal on his first day in office.

The statement added the bold and auspicious step taken by President Tinubu on fuel subsidy removal would secure the future of generations of Nigerians yet unborn; hence all well-meaning Nigerians should rally round President Tinubu to ensure the success of the fuel subsidy removal policy, as well as other laudable policies of the Administration.

Comrade Onjeh, who is an Economist, pro-development activist and former President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), also stated that every well-informed and honest Nigerian knows that the debate over fuel subsidy in the country had long been concluded, and the final verdict had been that the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) would impact the nation’s cash flow positively in the long run. He added that although the Federal Government had long removed subsidy on Diesel and Kerosene, the previous administrations had been unable to muster the courage and political will to remove subsidy on PMS otherwise called petrol, because they were afraid to face the backlash from Nigerians. However, President Tinubu had taken the bull by the horns.

Onjeh applauded Tinubu’s rare courage, which he said was akin to that of Lee Kuan Yew who brought Singapore out of the woods of underdevelopment; adding that Nigeria required a bold and courageous leader like Tinubu in order to right the wrongs of the past and reposition the nation for a more prosperous future.

“With the courage that Mr. President has demonstrated by the removal of fuel subsidy, we can be certain that he would not adopt a cowardly approach to the war against insecurity and other threats to the sovereignty, unity, peace and progress of Nigeria. President Tinubu will tackle terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, insurgency and all other forms of insecurity squarely,” stated Onjeh.

Onjeh noted that there was no denying the fact that Nigerians were facing a tough time generally due to the decline in the national economy, a situation exacerbated by the sudden removal of fuel subsidy. He however opined that President Tinubu was the right man to lead Nigeria through this crucial period of social and economic reforms, hence urged all Nigerians to keep faith with the President and to give him their unalloyed support to achieve the salient goals of his Renewed Hope Agenda.
