Tinubu Engages City Boys, Rejects Fuel Subsidy Return

On October 19, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu hosted the City Boys movement at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja. During the event, he stated, “You are not campaigning for me.

You are campaigning for your own future,” highlighting the importance of their role in shaping the future of Nigeria. Tinubu addressed the ongoing fuel subsidy controversy, specifically referencing the promise made by Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, to restore the subsidy if elected.

He firmly stated, “You cannot ask Moses to go back to Egypt,” indicating that Nigeria must not revert to its previous economic path. Tinubu expressed confidence in the movement's ability to deliver over ten million votes for him in the upcoming election and reiterated his commitment to economic growth, stating that he removed the subsidy on his first day in office to prevent Nigeria from going bankrupt.
