A renowned broadcaster, Ifedayo Olarinde popularly known as Daddy Freeze has expressed his support for President Bola Tinubu’s petrol subsidy removal.
He expressed that the newly sworn-in president did what the Labour Party presidential contender, Peter Obi would do if he was the president.
The removal of subsidy has triggered a lot of reactions as many believe that the policy has brought untold hardship to Nigerians.
It could be recalled that Tinubu had, during his inaugural speech at the Eagles Square on Monday, announced subsidy removal. He said,” fuel subsidy is gone.”
On the premise of the series of negative reactions that trend in the media space concerning the subsidy removal, Daddy Freeze has taken to his Instagram page to remind all of an old tweet where Peter Obi described fuel subsidy in the country as an organized crime.
Sharing Obi’s tweet, Daddy Freeze stated, ”Before you start complaining, even Peter Obi said he would remove subsidy.”
Obi had once tweeted, “We are going to dismantle the confusion in Ports Administration and get this country to work.
“Fuel subsidy is an organized crime and I will remove it immediately after I am elected President.”
