Peter Obi Promises to Reform Fuel Subsidy Policies

Peter Obi articulated his vision for Nigeria, asserting that if elected President, he would rectify the detrimental policies initiated by Tinubu's government, particularly concerning the fuel subsidy regime, which he described as corrupt and criminal. Obi proposed the removal of subsidies, arguing that it would reveal the true state of fuel pricing and that the funds saved should be redirected to productive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and education.

He criticized the government's claim of saving approximately N16 trillion from subsidy removal, questioning the tangible benefits of these savings for Nigerians. Obi emphasized the importance of investing in agriculture, especially in the Northern regions, to combat poverty and improve living standards.

He pledged to ensure that resources are allocated to areas that enhance the lives of ordinary citizens and expressed his commitment to being accountable to the people.
