Fuel Subsidy Removal: Comrade Adams Oshiomhole Insists That Fuel Subsidy Must Be Removed

Former Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President and Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. Expressing his Views on Fuel Subsidy Removal according to Vanguard Newspaper —

We must be sure of what we want to achieve; we must have the courage to do what we want to do. I do not want my colleagues in the labour to be shocked by the views I am going to express. The truth of the matter is that beside petroleum price, which other price has remained what it was five years ago?

Can we therefore conclude as rational human beings that there are certain forces that could have guaranteed stable N65 per litre, and yet every other price in the system has been changing? I think that you can't argue that every other price can change except petroleum.

Should subsidy be removed? Yes! But Nigerians must rise and insist that the proceeds must be judiciously utilised.

*Now we know those who truly have the interest of the masses in their hearts*
