   By Anthony A Kila           When it comes to utterances and conducts, Nigerian politicians have often displayed a level of audacity that verges on recklessness. The recent request, or is it suggestion, by Nigerian Governors asking the Federal Government to remove subsidies on petroleum products is one of those statements that one reads then asks is it true? Did they actually say that? After which, one cannot but sadly observe that such utterance lacks normal political prudence, it is at odds with popular feelings, economically controversially and hence conclude that it is pure political folly.
