Fuel Subsidy: Tinubu Needs More Time, Be Patient With Asiwaju – Sani
Amidst the pain caused by the fuel subsidy removal, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has said Nigerians will soon enjoy the dividends of democracy.
Speaking on Thursday when he was featured on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Sani said President Tinubu is working really hard to reduce the hardship caused by the fuel subsidy removal.
The Kaduna governor pleaded with Nigerians to be patient with the Tinubu government, saying that the President and the governors need more time to address the myriad of challenges facing the nation.
He stated that Tinubu and the governors are taking preventative measures and adopting an approach to lessen the impact of the fuel subsidy removal.
Sani also urged the Nigerian Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and all other trade union leaders to give the President a bit of time to address the fallout of the fuel subsidy removal.
He said: “I agree, there was a fuel subsidy but because of the level of corruption involved, it has never moved Nigeria forward and of course, in fighting corruption, you have to believe that corruption will fight you back.
“I am going to urge the Nigerian Labour Congress, TUC, and all other trade union leaders to give President Asiwaju a bit of time; he has good plans, and we, the governors, have good plans for everyone. So, we have to be very careful in the way we approach these issues so that we don’t make promises that we can’t fulfil.”
Speaking further, Sani said the NLC, TUC, and all labor unions are fully involved in what the government is doing and are aware of the challenges the nation is facing.
