Disclose Truth About Fuel Subsidy – Bode George To Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has been told by a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, to disclose the true state of fuel subsidy to Nigerians.
The PDP chieftain said Tinubu should tell Nigerians if his administration still pays subsidy on fuel through the back doors.
The former PDP deputy national chairman, who spoke on Arise Television knocked Tinubuโs administration for lack of transparency.
It would be recalled that a former governor of Bauchi State, Isa Yuguda accused the Federal Government of paying more for fuel subsidy than before.

Amid this claim, the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun disclosed that Nigeria currently spends $600m on fuel importation monthly.
Reacting, George said: โIโm so miffed about the goings on about this particular industry. On one side you hear the subsidy is still there, on another side you hear that there is no subsidy, who is telling the truth?
โLet us know the truth for Godโs sake; it is our fundamental right, and if the people know what the truth is, they will support you to succeed.
โThe NNPCL is owned by the Federal government which means it is owned by all Nigerians, we want to know what exactly is going on there.
โIโm not in that field of operation, but Iโm educated enough to listen to A and listen to B and then conclude in mind if there is need to support the operations or the policies of the government we will and if there are shortfalls in what they are telling us, we will say.โ
