Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
The integrity of Bola Tinubu is currently being questioned on social media following his strong objection to the removal of fuel subsidy in 2012 under the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan administration which is in direct contrast to his support for the same cause after 4 years with his party mate and strong political ally, President Muhammadu Buhari in power.
Read both statements recorded below:
"Removing fuel subsidy is like unleashing hardship on the people... " - Bola Tinubu, 2012.
"Removing fuel subsidy is a wise decision...." - Bola Tinubu, 2016.
Unconfirmed reports have it that the activities of the Occupy Nigeria civil society which played a major role in the 2012 protest against the removal of fuel subsidy was bankrolled by Tinubu, which also accounts for the group's unusual silence in the current fuel hike crisis.
