He stated, “The elimination of gas subsidies at a time like this isn’t advisable as a result of the economic system of Nigeria isn’t in fine condition. Already, the persons are confronted with sufficient hardship and elimination of gas subsidy will solely worsen the scenario.
“When the report got here up final week that the federal government will likely be changing subsidy with N5,000 transportation grant for 40 million poor Nigerians, I smiled as a result of that plan isn’t sustainable, there is no such thing as a provision for it within the 2022 finances, then what’s the plan?’’
‘’I’ve stated it earlier than that I foresee an enormous protest towards starvation which can contain everybody within the nation, the federal government doesn’t have to attend until this occurs, that’s why I warned them forward, however the path they’re toiling proper now’s shifting in direction of the course of the protest. They’ve gotten it flawed and a time will come when political leaders will remorse their positions as a result of there will likely be assaults towards them from all over the place by those that elected them.
“I counsel the federal authorities to carry on with the plans to take away subsidy for the sake of the plenty and for peace to reign within the nation. If not, there will likely be an rebellion,’’ he added.
