Festus Osifo & Adebayo Clash Over Subsidy Removal by lhordspy: 9:44am On May 31, 2023 |
The President of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, Festus Osifo, and the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, locked horns on Tuesday during a debate over fuel subsidy removal. SDP presidential Candidate, Adebayo: “There are two things you can do now: You must have subsidy because they’ve passed the law. We were protesting; you were collaborating with those who would say…. They were busy negotiating money for elections, how to collect money from politicians. ” Responding to the weighty claim, Osifo asked the SDP candidate to show proof or “take that back.” Despite repeated attempts by the TUC president and the presenter, Seun Okinbaloye, to get a retraction from the SDP candidate, he refused. TUC president, Osifo then fires back at Adebayo: “While It is now I knew why you performed abysmally in the elections, because you don’t even understand Nigeria’s problems. You don’t understand Nigeria’s issues. You clearly don’t understand economics.https://www.channelstv.com/2023/05/31/tuc-president-sdps-adebayo-in-heated-debate-over-fuel-subsidy-removal/ Earlier on twitter, Adebayo criticised TUC and NLC for being partisan: . I remind Nigerians that it was only @TheSDPNg that took the stand that corruption, not fuel subsidy, should be removed. @OfficialAPCNg @OfficialPDPNig @NgLabour campaigned for instant removal. TUC and NLC adopted @PeterObi who vowed to remove subsidy, now shedding crocodile tears https://twitter.com/Pres_Adebayo/status/1663654854680625155?t=cuc6RH6cvAQu-JuKotfzvg&s=19 12 Likes 2 Shares

"TUC and NLC adopted PeterObi who vowed to remove subsidy, now shedding crocodile tears" TUC and NLC lost the little integrity left in the Union as soon as they began dabbling in party politics. Same TUC and NLC that openly campaigned for Peter Obi who promised to remove subsidy 'immediately' if elected, and even further used the word 'will not wait a single day after'. Same Labour union leaders are now shedding crocodile tears around. Playing opposition party. Whether you like it or not. Removal of subsidy must stand. Subsidy died on May29. And we have no RIP to even waste. Gone forever. 84 Likes 8 Shares |

This SDP candidate is very articulate. Isn't it obvious that the TUC have not been providing the necessary leadership that can bail thier members and by extension, Nigerian out of the traps of the politicians? When OBJ sold Port Harcourt Refinery to Dangote in 2007, didn't this guy opposed the transaction and forced Yar'Adua to reverse the sale? Imagine if Dangote was allowed to complete the transaction then? We won't be here debate about subsidy today. Bunch of directionless and corrupt labour union leaders. 57 Likes 5 Shares |

I watched it yesterday and it was so hilarious 😂... The SDP guy was claiming he is the only candidate that never supported or talked about subsidy removal and Nigerians didn't still vote for him... 😅 The man is funny. 17 Likes |

Rubbish. That was a theatrical performance put together by Channels TV to bamboozle Nigerians. It's obvious that Seun and the channels TV crew now care more about entertaining their viewers than actually doing their job: informing Nigerians. Little wonder Arise TV is now the go-to channel for Nigerians. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Since Nigerians have been complaining about Tinubu's unguided declaration that subsidy have been removed, APC supporters have never failed to show to Nigerians that other presidential aspirants said they would remove it too. They don't know that Tinubu's action is like copying someone's statement in a police station without knowing the offence they committed. This SDP guy is still bitter after losing woefully at the polls because he didn't even win his own polling unit. I have never taken him serious, not even when he tries to sound intelligent. How would you accuse someone of being financially compromised on national TV without proof¿ He should be sued for libel and defamation of character, maybe after then his senses would be restored. Channels should have ejected him out of their studio after he refused to retract his statement. 11 Likes |

OP, focus on Tinubu, your president. I wonder why APC will never take responsibility. Always looking for who to blame. Before, APC were blaming Jonathan. Now they are trying to blame PO. This children of the corn are terrible. 25 Likes 3 Shares |

lhordspy: Look, racist politics does not work. You are merely wasting time. Same TUC and NLC that openly campaigned for Peter Obi who promised to remove subsidy 'immediately' if elected, and even further used the word 'will not wait a single day after'. Same Labour union leader are now shedding crocodile tears around. Playing opposition party. Supporters of Peter Obi state emphatically that Peter Obi would have first opened a channel of dialogue with the stakeholders before making a pronouncement. Whether you like it or not. Removal of subsidy must stand. Subsidy died on May29. And we have no RIP to even waste. Gone forever There's no subsidy. There has never been. What exists is a working relationship with international financial firms which was reached during the civil war, inorder to acquire loans to purchase arms and ammunition to pursue their campaign in the war. And, it can never stop. Baba Lagos just wants to bypass the cabal and bribe little feudal lords inorder to stay in office. The same tactic deployed by Sepp blatter and Platini during their respective reigns at FIFA and UEFA. The cabal will serve him breakfast at the right time. 7 Likes |

A case of a right thing at the wrong time.. Subsidy removal came at the wrong timing. BAT should not have announced it (it was too quick for him to announce), he should have caught those evil oil marketers and their sponsors, unaware.. |

When they increased the pump price of fuel to 140 naira they told us the subsidy has been removed, only for them to tell us again they are still paying subsidy on fuel, then they moved the price to 220 and told us it had been removed totally now this same people are still telling us they are still removing it again and the price has jumped to 700 naira as of today yet no one has actually cared to ask how much is the landing cost of fuel. and why we have not been able to get our refineries working after spending billions of dollars on them. Most Nigerians are very gullible and easily manipulated that is why these criminals in government who are the real beneficiaries of this subsidy scam will continue to manipulate and hoodwink them. Renewed hope indeed. 4 Likes |
