The Presidency also said it was unwise and unfair for the government to subsidize the cost of petrol for city dwellers while the farmers and herders who have no cars nor generators are left with nothing.in Nigeria, noting that other nations such as Ghana, Niger, Chad Saudi Arabia and other oil-producing countries sell petrol on a higher prices than Nigeria.
Asked why the President made the comparison during his appearance on Channels Television on Friday, Garba Shehu, a Senior Special Assistant to the President Media and Publicity, said, “We belong to a global market system. We are buying mostly our refined products from the international market. “Is it fair that the taxpayers’ money…how many Nigerians have cars anyway? How many of them run generators in their homes that they need this fuel for?“Is it fair that the farmer, herders and low level people in the society that the taxpayer money is taken from them is subsidising the lifestyle of our city urban dwellers? So these are.. the President is just trying to be as practical on these matters as possible.
“So Saudi Arabia is important in this discussion because, what is the technological cost of producing a barrel of oil in Saudi Arabia? “It’s not more than a quarter of what we spend here and yet you see them charging more than Nigeria. How much comes to Nigeria when you look at our technical cost? …”
It is like comparing apples to oranges. Please kindly think before you talk
When a Political Office Holder tells u he/she loves Nigeria,pls ask him/her if a man doing biz with a prostitute really loves her
Buhari is a stupid man
We don't need any explanation from them, let the Presidency do right thing, because nothing is working well under their leadership.
I'm just wondering why he is making face in this picture
Tweetwizzard No excuse
Tweetwizzard My own take is this MBuhari if you have reasons to increase fuel price to N161.00. Then I want you to know that there are many reasons to increase the minimum wage of workers. Arrant Nonsense NGRPresident you people are Clueless and heartless.
Pay workers minimum wage of just N250,000; you can increase fuel price to N250 per litre. Could it be a deal, Sir?
So the fuel price won’t affect the herders and farmers because they don’t have cars and generators? What a foolish assertion? Check the transport fares now and prices of commodities and you will know that they’re affected the most.
Rubbish and nonsense
Presidency defending the president. Is it a crime for the president to defend himself or talk to the public directly?
This really expose the mentality & level of reasoning of our so called leaders Garbashehu & buhari. Forgeting farmers & herders need mobility 4 their products.
Boss Buh have you ever bought fuel before? Masses are suffering and please don’t compare Saudi to Nigeria the distance between two countries is as far as traveling from Nigeria to Saudi
So GarShehu is the presidency or pseudo president of the federation since MBuhari is allegedly brain dead?
There's no sense in that talk,the president campaign agenda was to repair the refinery, what happened to that agender?
I don't think Nigerians are interested.
Meeehhhhnnnnn. This is so rude of the Presidency.. Never ever do that kind comparison again... O wrong mehnnn
From the table of the inept
What is minimum wage in Saudi Arabia and what is minimum wage in Nigeria Buhari is irresponsible leader.
It's quite unperceptive to have compared the two incomparable countries ✍️
That speech wasn't not written by MBuhari my question to NGRPresident is, who wrote the speech for MBuhari and why couldn't he rehearse his own speech to be publicized Nationwide.
That speech wasn't writing by MBuhari my Question to NGRPresident who wrote the speech? and why did MBuhari couldn't rehearse his own speech that will be publicized Nationwide.
Shebi if someone talk now, u guys will say it's hate speech right? Continue!!!!🙄🙄🙄 Arrant Nonsense/Rubbish 🙄🚶. Infact let me not talk. 🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤐🤔🤔😭😭✍️✍️
How many Nigerians are herders? How many herders and farmers actually pay taxes? The tax payers live in the cities. The cities consume the petrol.
