Fuel Subsidy Removal: The time for politics and politicking is over - FG replies Obaseki

Minister of information and national orientation, Mohammed Idris, has responded to claims made by Edo state Governor, Godwin Obaseki that President Bola Tinubu does not have any plan to cushion effect of subsidy removal.

In his response, he noted that President Tinubu’s government is putting in place measures to ensure the country prosper.

He, however, cautioned Obaseki against playing cheap politics.

He said;

“The federal government understands the current difficulties Nigerians are facing and is working very hard with the states and local governments to bring succour to our people.

“President Tinubu is guiding our country through very challenging times. We are supremely confident that we will soon turn the corner into a prosperous future.

“What is required at this time is for leaders at all levels to cooperatively bind together to make life better for Nigerians, not to play cheap politics that serves no better purpose.

“As President Tinubu has admonished, the time for politics and politicking is over. Rather than delving into narratives which do not provide the complete picture, the focus should be on how the Edo state government will be using available resources to drive impactful projects that genuinely uplift the people of Edo State.”
