Fuel Subsidy: For Tinubu to remove it was an audacious decision taken by any leader- Abdul Kareem

An influential member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Honourable Jubreel Abdulkareem, has provided some thoughtful commentary on the removal of oil subsidies from Nigeria. In his analysis, he highlighted the decision's significance and the difficulties that will inevitably accompany it, emphasising their relevance. He acknowledged the challenge of this policy and praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his courage in implementing it immediately after taking office.

Key political personalities, including opposition leaders like Peter Obi and Abubakar Atiku, have endorsed this action, which Abdulkareem pointed out. The withdrawal of the fuel subsidy was a difficult decision to spearhead, he said The Sun in an interview. To God be the glory, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's decision to remove it right after taking the oath of office was the most daring step ever made by a Nigerian leader. It was even pushed for by the opposition parties: Peter Obi and Abubakar Atiku. The elimination of the oil subsidies was, thus, a platform issue for every presidential contender from the main opposition parties.
