The Nigerian Bar Association says the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government suspended the planned petrol subsidy removal because of the forthcoming 2023 elections.
The President of NBA, Olumide Akpata, made this known on Monday while speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ programme monitored byhad earlier reported that a former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar ; a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana; and the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities, strongly warned the government against removing the subsidy, saying it would worsen poverty in the country.
But the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, on Monday, said that the government had suspended the planned removal of subsidy on petrol which was expected to kick off by June this year. Reacting to the suspension of the planned removal of subsidy on petroleum products, the NBA president said, “I would have love dot think that the decision to suspend, I would have wanted to believe that it is because the government cares so much about the people and it is a government that is listening to the cries of the people because indeed as the Minister of Finance mentioned because it would be really tough if subsidy removal is implemented at this time with all of the other circumstances.
What do you sir, for nigerians to be suffering more. What's you business in politics mr NBA.
Nigerians cannot afford to go on with this chaotic, rudderless government.
Exactly
Nope. A fear of the various coups going around west african region. Fear of how the people will react! PMB and his gangs don't give a hoot about election. They will bring out their policies even if all Nigerians are groaning in pain but a mutiny. They can risk it.
They proposed the removal of petrol subsidies, you threw tantrums, you are mad and upset, now after suspending the removal of the same petrol subsidies, you are still throwing tantrums, mad and upset. Obviously, you people have some serious personal issues, seek psych evaluation.
Very correct, if they retain power they immediately increase it to N500
Big mouth
You don't know what you are saying Sir because PMB has never supported the removal of fuel subsidy
This people sef, what do you really want? Subsidy to be removed you cried, removal suspended you're complaining again. Is because of people like you that make God regret why he created human being. Haba! Kilo ma teyin lorun gan? Afi iku. Well whatever you mind like think oooooh.
We all know that you don't need to tell us
Do you know what you are doing?
You are correct; as soon as they select themselves into juicy offices after national 'selection' of 2023, they will pull the carpet from underneath our feet, and install all those policies that will sniff the life out of us ordinary Nigerians.
Govt shouldn't have suspended it so that you can have topic to eat on Arise TV 😂
Obviously
This administration of MBuhari is so funny... It's like those people think we re fools,abi?
