I’ll remove fuel subsidy Obi affirms, tags programme “organised crime”

The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has reiterated his commitment to phasing out fuel subsidies completely if elected during next month’s election.

He said removing fuel subsidies had been on his priority list, and he would end the menace, which he described as “organised crime”, immediately after he assumes office.

Obi, who gave the assurance on Sunday at the People’s Town Hall 2023 organised by Channels Television, said he would cut off fuel subsidy beneficiaries and put to rest the issue permanently.
