Popular singer, Seun Kuti has come out to voice strong opposition to President Bola Tinubu’s decision to remove the fuel subsidy. He recently had his say during his recent Instagram live session, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it was simply a wicked decision that undermines the welfare of Nigerians because the Nigerian government has proven they don’t need funds from the general public to provide for them.
He added that nobody donated for the $150 million jet Tinubu bought recently, so removing subsidy was a nonsense decision.
His words, “Don’t let anybody tell you that there is something in Nigeria that the government cannot afford or that they need some private person to invest. If someone tells you that, tell the person to shut up!
Who donated for the $150 million jet for Tinubu? Who did they ask for donations?
That $150 million do you know how many schools it will build? Or how long it will run a primary school? 10 good primary schools would be run on that money for at least 20 years. 10 good primary schools would be built and run, that will educate ten generations of African people.
When it comes to their enjoyment and building houses of billions of naira, they don’t say that they need the public to donate money. But when it is time to build for the people, that’s when they need a public-private partnership. Nonsense talk!
The president cannot tell us that this petrol matter is not in his control. He is the president and minister of petrol. They say they take tough decisions but there is no tough decision taken here. President Tinubu took a wicked decision, this whole subsidy and floating the dollar there is nothing tough about it.”
WOW.
