2027: Fuel subsidy is gone for good, don’t let anyone deceive you – Tinubu

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has advised Nigerians against being fooled by fuel subsidy, noting that the intervention has always been part of Nigeria’s history.

This was said by the President at the flag-off ceremony of his reelection campaign in Kaduna on Saturday

Tinubu promised Nigerians a better tomorrow, urging voters to be careful not to be misled as he kicked off his re-election campaign.

He urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and carefully assess the claims made by those seeking their support.

“Be careful, watch them, don’t let them lie to you,” Tinubu said.

Tinubu also defended his administration’s decision to end the petrol subsidy regime in 2023, describing the policy as part of the country’s past.

“What is the past is the past, fuel subsidy is in our past, no more corruption, no more falsification of invoices, no more lies, no more smuggling of fuel,” he said.

He told his supporters at the campaign kickoff that the prosperity and future of Nigerians were in their hands, stressing that their choices would determine the country’s direction.

“Your prosperity is here. Your future is in your hands, your fingerprints will reflect it,” the President said.

Tinubu called on Nigerians to give him another opportunity to lead the country, promising a better future if re-elected.

“May you give me the privilege to promise you once again of a better tomorrow,” he added.

Recall that Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, had promised to restore fuel subsidies. However, Tinubu’s administration has described the pledge as propaganda.
