Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate for 2023, has stated that President Bola Tinubu’s announcement to end the fuel subsidy regime in Nigeria is motivated by impunity.
He called the move a hasty policy decision.
Sowore, who accused Tinubu of having a feudal lordship over Lagos State, claimed Tinubu would find it difficult to replicate the same thing in Nigeria.
Tinubu, according to the AAC candidate, is about to face national opposition over the removal of fuel subsidies.
It should be noted that President Tinubu declared the end of Nigeria’s fuel subsidy regime during his inaugural speech on May 29, causing the price of petrol to rise across the country.
Reacting to the development in a statement on Sunday, Sowore who is against the fuel subsidy removal stand of the federal government, wrote via his Twitter account:
When @officialABAT was bragging that he will remove subsidy whether people protest or not , no matter how long the protest would last he was speaking with a certainty driven by the impunity he’d practiced in Lagos since he captured Lagos in 1999.
However, he forgot that so many of the recent struggles that were rooted in recent revolts across Nigeria, particularly targeted his feudal lordship over Lagos.
He’s about to face a national resistance that will clear his doubts regarding his recent thoughtless petrol subsidy policy. Sri Lanka on my mind! #Revolutionnow.
