Ikeja, Lagos state – Bode George, a former deputy national chairman (south) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s insistence on not revisiting the fuel subsidy.
In a statement reacting to Tinubu’s first media chat, Debo Ologunagba, PDP spokesperson, George expressed his belief that Tinubu needs to listen to the cries of the people. The PDP chieftain spoke on Channels Television, in an interview monitored by Henzodaily.ng.
He said:
“It (the president not regretting the fuel subsidy removal) would be a major campaign issue. In another few months, he would be two years in office. The third year in office, politics would start. We will make it a campaign issue. Are you Nigerians better off now, or do you believe that with what we would tell you we would be better off?”
