What exactly is Peter Obi’s Position on subsidy? Is he bringing it back like Atiku or is he maintaining the removal like Tinubu?

The money that was never available in the first place, subsidy money was a loan, it was borrowed and everyone knew it was not sustainable in the long run. Bringing back subsidies means that you want to borrow to subsidise fuel for Ghana, Benin, Chad Cameroon and Niger. That being said, Obi is not economically sound, the more you press him with a single question the more confused he would be, Obi is a people pleaser and such a person with that mentality can't run a country like Nigeria

I think the problem is your comprehension. Let me help you a bit. A patient requires he tooth to be removed, Dr A just removed the tooth with pliers and the patient is bleeding and in pains. While Dr B said I will give anesthesia b4 pulling out the tooth. U see d difference

Youre the one with comprehension problem. I said this clearly in the video. Subsidy has already been removed. Will he bring it back before doing all this nonsense you’re saying? Petrol is already 1500. What exactly will he do about this?

Just like in the example I gave, the patient tooth have already been removed but this patient is bleeding and in pains. So first he will stop the bleeding and reduce the pains. Hence he will deal with the criminality in subsidy, then subsidy production not consumption.

Omo, I tire for this your last sentence. It is well.

Bro, no Dey go corner corner, we no you well. Obi can’t convince you because you already have your take. You didn’t understand his position because you chose not to.

If you had anything better to add, you would have said it.

I don't think he's bringing it back. Looking at what he said, he compared Nigeria with Pakistan, they consume 20 to 30million liters per day but Nigeria records between 35 to 62 million per day. Meanwhile they have more vehicles and road than we do and same population size.

So what exactly is he doing? Petrol is 1500, how will “removing corruption” reduce this?

Let details obi said - current cost of fuel is too high (you don’t agree but that’s fine) - we need to reduce the price - we cannot continue to former way of subsidy (why? The data on consumption of fuel was a lie) what should we do ? - ensure regular supply of crude to local refineries (cut importation Costs) - look at our fuel consumption empirically and figure out a price that will not be too burdensome on the people but also not bankrupt the government(I.e subsidy which can be given to the local refineries in form of crude to ensure local production) Key takeaway The problem is not one you fix with one master stroke it’s something you finetune with prevailing realities.

With all these things you wrote, what is the bottom line? Obi will bring back subsidy?

@adedapoOA Remove the leakages in subsidy claims and see if Nigeria will still pay this much that both the previous and current govts are telling Nigerians they pay for subsidy...

@adedapoOA What subsidy claims? Who is claiming it at the moment?

@adedapoOA It was renamed to energy security currently in nnpc documents. Tell me you dont know about it Sir.

@adedapoOA Even if I’m to engage you in that regard, kindly explain how that has made petrol 1500 and how removal of that will bring petrol to 500.

@adedapoOA Do you now agree that subsidy has been renamed to energy security, which is still costing us trillions# without any solid reasons? The fact that petrol is cheaper in Iran that's at war than Nigeria should tell you that there's a serious compromise going on in our oil sector

@adedapoOA I asked you a simple question. How has the hidden subsidy you just discovered impacted the price of petrol? The fact that you made that comment about Iran shows I shouldn’t be having this conversation with you.

As much as we condemn Tinubu, he has always been clear with what he wants to do, and taking action on each of them, thats what we call principle and a man with a plan, love or hate him. Nigeria don't need an opportunist at this stage, we need quality progress and continuity

You see, this Edo boy is a fraud, though he is doing what he’s sent to do. Obi and his boys are unstable.

Petrol is 1500. Your concern should be what will tinubu do about it.

Do you ever ask Tinubu questions ??? Wtf

Ask Tinubu wether he will remove subsidy that he has already removed? Abi kilonso?

Why are we still having subsidy conversations today? Because Nigerians are worse off than they were in 2023. Yet, instead of questioning the person responsible for addressing these problems, you keep asking everyone else questions and then claim you are neutral.

That is the job of journalists. Atiku addressed journalists and I reacted. Obi did same and I reacted. Journalists should go and ask Tinubu same questions and I will be here to react too.

Isn’t it shameful that D person you support doesn’t even have a media interaction with the media for U to react to ? It’s even crazier that he is the president 🤮🤮 I swear I know you for real life. Bro you’re entirely different here & I Don’t know what you are twerking for.

@Bond_not_james He is bond 🤝.

@Bond_not_james He is duru before bond And not matter how he tweaks for These APC folks ……………………………….. Mak I lock up 🤐

You're dull on this take, if you claim to be smart you should understand what he's saying

🛑His position is that subside is NOT BAD. 🛑What makes it bad is corruption. 🛑He will checkmate the corruption in that sector, and then look at it in it's real sense, and decide if it's the best for the masses. This govt threw away the bathwater with the baby, because they...

Don’t waste your time. @PeterObi don’t have a clue on these subjects. You guys are just wasting your time analyzing rubbish. Just like pinching a dummy and you expect a dummy to cry.

The problem with populist politicians is that it’s often difficult to pin them down on what they actually believe. Depending on the time, audience or political convenience, their positions shift, become vaguer, or get repackaged entirely. Tbh, I don’t even blame the politicians that much. Politicians have been economical with the truth since forever. I blame the journalists whose job it is to hold them to account. Once a politician starts giving vague answers, put them on the spot. Bring up what they’ve said in the past. Ask them to reconcile the contradictions. Ask “how?” and keep pushing until they give a clear, specific answer. And if they still refuse, state it plainly for the record: you have not answered the question. Rufai is actually very good at doing this, but the problem is that he seems to reserve that energy for politicians he considers opposed to Obi. Once it’s Obi or one of his allies, suddenly it’s all touchy-touchy, softie-softie.

I think the guy quoted first kinda explained it. From what he said PO will remove subsidy initially temporarily and reinvest in other sectors like Agriculture helping food prices etc. Then reintroduce subsidy after they’ve solved the corruption in it. ie removal is only temporary

Even you no bright... If you are bright, you would know there is a lot of corruption in subsidy and it needs to be dealt with...

I don’t think the problem is removal of subsidy but the mismanagement of these funds to help citizens by creating jobs and infrastructures

Stop disturbing yourself about Peter obi, the man has no plan for this country, he just want to be president. That’s all.

Trust Obi at your own risk. He wants to bring it back to get votes from Atiku’s supporters. Obi’s puppets analysing the growth of Nigeria on his zombie behalf.

Things are hard at the moment and probably going to get even worse with fuel going up to ~1500/L But anybody that wants to bring back fuel subsidy doesn’t have Nigeria’s best interest at heart. Also, the conversation of removing corruption from the whole ‘organized crime’ called subsidy is just wishful thinking. It is easier to cure cancer than to remove corruption from the fuel subsidy in Nigeria to be honest

My own is, subsidy should go, but can we invest that money in buses to help ease transportation. Preferably buses that are solar operated so that, people can benefit directly from the subsidy removal?

I agree. If obi had maintained this position, I won’t be making all these videos.

Even if subsidy is returned, and the corruption is not weeded out, it will still be same. How are we consuming more fuel than Pakistan daily, even with less vehicles and roads? Is that not corruption? Weed the corruption and see what we have left. Simple as ABC… It’s well oo.

Why not ask relevant questions like, why are we buying fuel almost 1500 as an oil producing state? Subsidy or no Subsidy, should fuel be 1500 You leave the obvious and start asking what another human that is not in government will do better. SMH 🤦‍♂️

Even his explanation reeked of bias, it was an unintelligent argument cooked to feed his minions in the Obi camp… 💀

This guy you are getting really really annoying

My guy just shut up . What is you are not a principled person? A man's opinion to things could completely change or deviate a little depending on changes and present realities. That's what makes a great leader. Being fluid and not rigid is expected. Abuse full your gutter mouth.

There is a reason why Tinubu did not repair the refinery he doesn’t want to deal with the cabals and the same cabals are rough handling dangote at the moment

I think the question is moot. Subsidy has been removed already. The real question is if Obi has a better way of handling the economy than it is now.

Then obi state that position clearly. Isn’t that what I freaking said in the video? “I will maintain the removal of subsidy but I will make sure the savings are channeled to the right place.” Rather than playing to the gallery.

@yisa_desmond So you’re saying you haven’t heard Obi say this?

@yisa_desmond This is what I’ve heard him say.

You showed clips from several videos in which he consistently maintained his position on subsidy removal, but strategically omitted the more substantive question of how he intends to implement it. More importantly, you left out his position on addressing the systemic

Where is Paris patient?

Even without subsidies are we suppose to be buying at this price lol ? Oil productinb country with refineries that might never work again cos dangote already owns one lol

Remove the leakages in subsidy claims and see if Nigeria will still pay this much that both the previous and current govts are telling Nigerians they pay for subsidy...

With his plans to turn around the North there will be a boost in the Naira, also with his point on upgrading electricity the cost of production will naturally drop by a few percentage.

Leave obi and his followers

You have talked about this before. What exactly do you want from Peter Obi? Why all your energy is at him? Is he the President?
