Subsidy: I know Nigerians are suffering, be a little patient – Tinubu

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that he is aware of the difficulty Nigerians are facing as a result of the fuel subsidy removal but urge them to be a little patient.

He noted that the subsidy removal has come to stay and it was done for the best interest of the country.

Tinubu said this when 18 governors who served with him, in the Class of 1999, paid him a visit at the Presidential Villa, on Wednesday, July 12.

According to him, there are palliatives been put in place to cushion the hardship befallen Nigerians.

“I understand that our people are suffering yet there can be no childbirth without pain. The joy of childbirth is the relief that comes after the pain. Nigeria is reborn already with fuel subsidy removal. It is a rebirth of the country for the largest number over a few smugglers. Please tell the people to be a little patient.

The palliative is coming. I don’t want cash-transfer to fall into wrong hands. I know it pinches and it is difficult. In the end, we will rejoice in the prosperity of our country."
