While speaking on Channels TV on Thursday evening October 31, Dare said
President Tinubu should be given credit for doing what other presidents could
not do.
“You know, the subsidy was draining this country. A few hundred were
making billions out of it. Every president said they would stop subsidy. None
of them did. Let’s give this man some credit. We might not like it''
President Tinubu declared an end to the subsidy on fuel during his
inauguration and later floated the country’s currency, all part of his
administration’s reforms.
The moves have seen the cost of the essential product move from about
N200 per litre to over N1,000 across the country, pushing it beyond the reach
of millions of Nigerians who rely on the commodity to power their vehicles,
homes, and businesses.
During the interview, Dare said the president is working tirelessly to
fix the issues and make good his promises to the country.
“Tinubu is adept at governance. A man who burns the midnight oil when
other men of easy virtue are carousing around. This is a man I worked with for
seven years and we sleep at 4 5, 6 in the morning.”he said
According to Dare, the removal of subsidy on fuel and other reforms by
the Tinubu government are audacious moves. He said his principal took the “road
less travelled” by rolling out those policies. Despite the harsh effects of
those programmes, Dare says what Tinubu “has been doing is trying to fix the
problem”.
