Amid the hardship caused by the fuel subsidy removal, Kaduna state Governor Uba Sani has pleaded with Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu’s administration. 

He made the call when he was featured on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

According to Governor Sani, the President and the governors are taking preventative measures and adopting an approach to lessen the impact of the fuel subsidy removal.

“I agree, there was a fuel subsidy but because of the level of corruption involved, it has never moved Nigeria forward and of course, in fighting corruption, you have to believe that corruption will fight you back.

“I am going to urge the Nigerian Labour Congress, TUC, and all other trade union leaders to give President Asiwaju a bit of time; he has good plans, and we, the governors, have good plans for everyone. So, we have to be very careful in the way we approach these issues so that we don’t make promises that we can’t fulfill”.

Governor Sani added that the NLC, TUC, and all labor unions, are fully involved in what the government is doing and are aware of the challenges the nation is facing.

“When we are looking at how we solve this problem of fuel subsidy and how it affects the economy of the people generally, we have to talk about people that can be on the table.

“I am talking about people that are vulnerable, underserved, the market women, the farmers, people living with disabilities – they are also affected; they go to the same markets; they use the same transportation; and they constitute about 90 percent of the population” .
