Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju has reacted to the rising cost of fuel in Nigeria, questioning the current economic direction under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking during a recent podcast, he criticised the continued praise of the President as a “master strategist,” insisting that the reality on the ground tells a different story for ordinary Nigerians.
“Fuel is almost ₦2,000 and people are still calling Tinubu the master strategist. Master of strategy in what exactly?” he said.
Adeyanju further argued that the removal of fuel subsidy has worsened economic hardship, noting that petrol remains central to most activities in the country.
He urged the Federal Government to reconsider its stance and immediately restore the subsidy to ease the burden on citizens.
“The President should bring back fuel subsidy because the economy is suffering. If he brings back fuel subsidy today, fuel will come down, and the majority of what we do in Nigeria, including transportation, is tied to petrol.
Now, today in Nigeria, is it the governors that they are subsidizing? Can’t you see how fresh and big Akpabio’s stomach has become?
The governors in today’s Nigeria are earning 10 times what they used to earn before this administration came into power,” he added.
