Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the spokesperson for the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to claim credit for the removal of fuel subsidies in Nigeria. It is worth noting that during his inauguration, President Tinubu declared an end to the era of fuel subsidies.
However, the president's announcement was met with a range of responses, and petrol stations swiftly raised fuel prices, causing a surge in public reactions. In light of these events, Baba-Ahmed has cautioned President Tinubu against taking credit for the removal of fuel subsidies, suggesting that the consequences of the decision have been contentious and have negatively affected the public.
