Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has reacted to the removal of fuel subsidies by newly sworn-in President Bola Tinubu.
WITHIN NIGERIA previously reported that the president, during his inaugural speech, stated that subsidy is no longer sustainable in Nigeria and that it is no longer available.
In an Instagram post, Omokri praised Tinubu for taking such a bold step, adding that his principal, Atiku Abubakar, would have done the same.
He also urged all opposition parties to be patriotic and support the removal of subsidies.
However, the political analyst insisted that, despite the support, the opposition must remain steadfast and focused in its efforts to democratically remove Tinubu from office.
Omokri wrote;
Subsidy removal of the right move. I support it. We would have done the same thing if Waziri Atiku Abubakar had been inaugurated today.
It is a bold move, and I urge all opposition parties to be patriotic and support subsidy removal while we vigorously and zealously pursue our case to unseat President Bola Tinubu democratically.
