domDva:
A good start.

One thing that Buhari lacked was decisive willpower …with all the military background, there was no decisive decision he could make. Osibanjo was even better as acting president

udemzyudex:


At the wrong time.

SmartyPants:


If he said it never existed then obviously he either lied or was misguided if/when he said it didnt exist.

But i'm not aware of such a statement anyway. Please share a link.

As for removing it, it was made clear from the beginning that it would take effect from June this year.

Fiscus105:
If its me, I will still extend the implementation by at least 3 months.

Firstly, to study it as an insider critically.

Second, for not starting having heavy criticism and attacks by citizens, believing I'm discomforting them. (Not even when Dangote oil will enter market by July.

Racoon:
Same fuel subsidy they have repeatedly called a fraud and have removed many times? The zombies that hid because of Buhari's 8 years of disastrous government are back again to hail and over hype another disaster

SalamRushdie:


I know , there was no need to say anything about it today , Nigeria fuel supply reacts a lot to speculation, this talk today has already triggered a new wave of scarcity, people are rushing to go fill up and the fuel stations are already closing gate ..This is how Timprr Silva used careless talk to keep causing fuel scarcity under Buhari

Akoja360:
buhari was a bitch. I don't really like tinubu but i have a feeling he would do better, he comes off as someone that is street smart and knows how to deal with power

domDva:

lavylilly:
This is what the previous regime wanted to do-remove the corrupt subsidy so that marketers will determine the price, but these hypocrites sabotage all the efforts with the Ojota Carnivals, Occupy/Save Nigeria protest. Today they're implementing the same policy.

NNPC have not produce any petroleum product for long while out refineries have been comatose with heavy Turn around maintenance(TAM), staff salaries & other over head costs being paid.All in a brazen act of corruption. Why is the APC this wicked?760 NNPC

Electorate:
Firstly

Do you zombies realize the removal of fuel subsidy means fuel will be more expensive and scarce? How is that a great decision? No problem, na una go still cry come nairaland when hardship begin wire una like buhari regime, shebi una no wan get sense.

michresakidjo:
Please what happens when subsidy is removed??


I need someone to explain to me very well?? please!!!

Natbrowny:


If he says 1000 per litre. Selling stations will say 2500

oloriooko:
Are you saying you never heard bubu say him never hear say subsity exist?

SmartyPants:


I'm not sure what you meant to type up there but I think I was clear enough. If you have a link, kindly share.

Adakintroy:
Same subsidy Jonathan tried to remove but because he was from a sub ordinate ethic group....

Nigerians have a very short memory span I swear. It why its easy for this politician to manipulate them.

Nairalander248:


800/liter

Dbegining:


Oga, policies have reactions and consequences.

Filling stations had stopped selling fuel as at yesterday in many places especially Lagos.

It's simple economics.

First disaster of the new president. Set in cushions first before announcing a policy as delicate as this.

udemzyudex:


At the wrong time.

SalamRushdie:


That is why I said he has started on bad note even before reaching office tomorrow

instinctg:
This is a risky political calculation, hope it pays off

SmartyPants:


"He said there was no such thing as “subsidy” and dismissed it as a scam used by government officials and their cronies to steal public funds."

Is this what you're referring to?
