Tinubu Defends Fuel Subsidy Removal at Abuja Gathering
President Bola Tinubu declared that he has no regrets over the removal of the petrol subsidy, emphasizing that Nigeria cannot revert to previous economic policies. Speaking at a political gathering titled “Together till 2027: An Evening with Original City Boy” organized by the City Boy Movement at the Old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja, he stated that the reforms are essential for the country's progress.
Tinubu likened calls for the subsidy’s restoration to the biblical story of Moses and the Israelites, asserting that Nigeria must move forward. He acknowledged the challenges faced over the past three years but maintained that the decisions made were necessary for economic repositioning.
Tinubu expressed confidence in the economy's direction and urged supporters to focus on the country's future rather than his personal ambitions, stating that Nigeria must succeed in the 2027 elections.
