Seyi Law: Tinubu made the right decision by removing fuel subsidy
Nigerian comedian turned politician, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, also known as Seyi Law, has reiterated his support for President Bola Tinubu for removing the fuel subsidy.
Seyi, an aide to the Ondo State governor stressed that the subsidy should have been long removed by governments before Tinubu.
Despite the hardship caused by the removal of the fuel subsidy, the actor said it will eventually benefit Nigerians.
He added that if it had been removed in 2012, during the presidency of Goodluck Jonathan—when the former opposition party, led by Tinubu, protested against it—Nigerians would have already been free from that burden.
His words, “Fuel subsidy should have been long gone. If it had gone in 2012 we would have gone through the pain process and by now we would have been healing.
“In 2012, I was the only celebrity that went on stage to kick against the anti-fuel subsidy movement. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala came out to say that the nation could not afford to pay salaries.”
