Mr Dayo Adeyeye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Minister of Works, says that the removal of fuel subsidy remains the best option for the Nigeria.

Adeyeye, who is also the National Chairman of South West Agenda ( SWAGA) said this at flag -off of palliative distribution to some residents of Plateau.

 He said that Nigeria would had been grounded to a halt by now had it been President Bola Tinubu had not removed subsidy.


He noted that after wining his presidential primaries of the APC and the general election, the president is fighting another round of battle to liberate Nigerians from hardship and every form of strangulation. 


He lamented that a lot of damage had been done to Nigeria's economy by the past administrations, adding that it made things difficult for the present administration when it assumed office.

"The present government led by President Bola Tinubu is not interested in painting the last government bad but Nigeria would have grounded to a halt without fuel subsidy removal.

"Do you know that the money for the oil we are selling today has been collected a long time ago before this administrative came on board?

''So, when you hear that 1.8 million barrels is sold,the money is not just there; things are as bad as that. 

''That is the situation as we have it but President Tinubu can not say it openly," he said.


The APC chieftain , however, assured that the president was doing everything possible to change the situation for the good of Nigerians while calling on the people to support his renewed hope agenda


"We in SWAGA did not support h Tinubu's election for nothing; he conquered those who wanted to stop his victory but the job is not done yet

"We did not support his election for Nigerians to suffer. We did it for him to change the trajectory of Nigeria; has done it before and we know he will not disappoint Nigerians.

''Right now ,he is fighting another round of battle to better the course of Nigeria; Mr president is not sleeping but he wants Nigerians to be patient

"In eight years time ,you won't recognise Nigeria again because things must have changed drastically as he is ready to take bold decisions for the good of the people,"the ex minister said.

The Convener of SWAGA ,Oyetunde Ojo said that the distribution of the palliatives to Plateau residents was in appreciation of the support given to them by the people during the last general election 

 "SWAGA has come to stay. What we are giving out today as palliatives is just the begining of the good things to come to Plateau,"he said.

The Coordinator of SWAGA in Plateau, Bitrus Christopher,  who expressed appreciation for the palliatives, said that the group would continue to support President Bola Tinubu to enable him actualise his good objectives to Nigerians.
