BREAKING: Peter Obi Speaks On How He Would Have Approached Fuel Subsidy Removal
In the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party, characterized fuel subsidy as an orchestrated criminal activity.
On Monday, he made this assertion during an appearance on Arise TV’s ‘The Morning Show,’ where he discussed the approach he would have adopted to address the imminent strike by the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress.
“Fuel subsidy is organised crime. I said it repeatedly that it should be removed. For me, the approach would have been, is to remove the corruption and criminal side of it and remove the excess demand.
“By doing this, you would have reduced it by 50 per cent. The remaining 50 per cent is what we would have been able to, after consultation with various stakeholders in order to find a way in an organised manner, remove and show the proceed of the gains of the removal to be invested in critical development areas.”
The ex-governor of Anambra State expressed optimism about the future of Nigeria.
