- SDP’s Prince Adewole criticizes Tinubu’s economic policies, comparing fuel subsidy removal to ineffective measures for a cut
- Adewole emphasizes potential for good leadership in Nigeria, challenges to demonstrate self-governance capabilities and intelligence
According to Prince Adewole Adebayo, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Presidential Candidate for 2023, President Bola Tinubu is following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, in terms of the economy.
Adewole described the removal of fuel subsidies as a bad policy in the ongoing Daily Trust space titled “Three Months In Power: How Has The Economy Fared Under Tinubu.”
He stated that in advanced economies, whatever helps the economy thrive is subsidized.
In America, they subsidise pharmaceuticals, they subsidise health; in the UK, they subsidise transportation.
It’s like carelessly using a knife to cut someone’s skin and you are supplying the person with Panadol, plaster, and iodine; why did you cut the person in the first place?
I hope they will correct the error, otherwise they may lose time. If between now and 2027, President Tinubu does not feel the leadership gap, we will step in. They can’t deny Nigerians good leadership on the basis that there is no good leadership in Nigeria because there is… We have to make an example that black people can govern themselves; we have the intelligence, he said.
No Room For Discrimination In My Administration – Kaduna Gov
Uba Sani, the governor of Kaduna State, has stated that his administration does not tolerate prejudice.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that this was revealed by Uba Sani yesterday during his remarks at the Kaduna State Peace Commission-organized “Reflection Meeting: Strategies for Achieving Sustainable Peace and Social Harmony in Kaduna”.
I am a product of the human rights and pro-democracy movement. We have zero tolerance for discrimination. I will sustain our cherished ideals. With the support of the good people of Kaduna State, we shall build a state where no man or woman will feel oppressed. We shall build a state where no person or place will be left behind.
Under my watch, equity and justice shall reign supreme in Kaduna State. Because of decades of suspicion and perceptions of marginalization, many people may not want to give our administration the benefit of the doubt.
