Tinubu govt has secretly reintroduced fuel subsidy – Atiku’s aide, Phrank Shaibu alleges

 Phrank Shaibu, Special Adviser on Public Communication to Atiku
Abubakar, 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, has
accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of secretly reintroducing fuel
subsidy.

 

He claimed this was evident in the huge gap between the
prices of petrol, kerosene and diesel.

 

In a statement on Tuesday, Shaibu said, “Nigerians should
not be deceived by the antics of this government. They have secretly
reintroduced subsidies on petrol. That is why the price of petrol has remained
stable while the prices of diesel, kerosene and cooking gas have all gone up.

 

“How can the price of crude oil and forex go up, and the
price of petrol remains static? Is it possible for the cost of rice to go up
and the cost of fried rice, which has ingredients such as green pepper, green
peas, and salt, remains static? It makes no sense!

 

“Foreign investors are aware of the lies being told by the
Tinubu administration, hence their decision not to take him seriously.”

 

Recall that Tinubu had declared an end to the fuel subsidy
regime during his inauguration on May 29. The subsidy removal had led to an
increment in the pump price of petrol across the country.
