EL-RUFAI LIED, WE’RE NOT PAYING FUEL SUBSIDY – FG

EL-RUFAI LIED, WE’RE NOT PAYING  FUEL SUBSIDY — FG

The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), have said that claims alleging that fuel subsidy has been returned are false.

Recall that former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, on Monday, said the Federal Government had resumed the payment of subsidy on fuel and is paying much more than before.

Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri, however challenged those making the claims to provide proof that the subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, had been returned.

He stressed that since President Bola Tinubu declared the end of the subsidy on petrol, the situation has remained so.

The Minister said, “I don’t want to delve into that issue. It is a very sensitive issue. It is better we get all the facts. As far as I’m concerned, the President removed the subsidy and it remains removed till today. Anybody who is saying that subsidy is being paid, it is left for the person to bring the facts and then we will talk about them.”

Asked whether the price being paid for petrol currently is determined by market forces, the minister replied, “It may not be determined by market forces but let us deal with the price as it is today.“Every government has a duty to do certain things, not only in the petroleum sector but in several other sectors, to be able to cushion the effect and burden on Nigerians.”

    ENFBAFGOVERNANCE: FG CHARGES ARRESTED PROTESTERS TO COURT

    ENDBADGOVERNANCE: FG CHARGES ARRESTED PROTESTERS TO COURT Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, issued a ruling granting bail to ten #EndBadGovernance protesters who had been detained on charges including treason.Each defendant was granted bail set at ₦10 million, along with the requirement of one surety in the same amount. In his ruling, Justice Nwite emphasized the principle of presumption of innocence, asserting that anyone charged with a criminal offense is presumed innocent until proven guilty. He acknowledged the arguments presented by the defense counsel, particularly Abubakar Marshall, representing the 1st, 2nd, and 4th defendants. Despite the serious nature of the charges, Justice Nwite decided to grant bail to all ten defendants, stating, “I have carefully considered the submission of the counsel on both divides. I hereby grant the defendants bail notwithstanding the crime. “The bail is hereby granted to the defendants applicant in the sum of ₦10 million each and one surety in like some.” Justice Nwite approved their bail applications, stipulating that each defendant must secure a surety who is both a property owner and resident in Abuja. These sureties are required to provide property documents and an affidavit of means to the court. Additionally, both defendants and sureties must submit their international passports and three recent passport-sized photographs. Justice Nwite overruled the Inspector General of Police’s objections to the bail requests and imposed a restriction prohibiting the defendants from participating in any public demonstrations during their trial. Until bail conditions are met, the defendants will remain in custody, while their trial is scheduled to begin on September 27. The protesters are accused of treasonous activities during their nationwide protests, including attempting to incite a military takeover of President Tinubu’s government, vandalizing public property, and attacking police officers. The charges against them fall under sections 96, 410, and 413 of the Penal Code. The Inspector General of Police alleges that the group broke into the Abacha Army Barracks, called for military intervention, and committed acts of violence including the destruction of a police station and other public facilities. The accused are Michael Tobiloba Adaramoye, Adeyemi Abiodun Abayomi, Suleiman Yakubu, Opaluwa Eleojo Simon, Angel Love Innocent, Buhari Lawal, Mosiu Sadiq, Bashir Bello Nurudeen Khamis, and Abduldalam Zubair.

    NIGERIANS CAN MO LONGER BEAR BEAR THIS HARDSHIP – GANI ADAMSIn an open letter titled ‘President Bola Tinubu, time is going’, Gani Adams said, “We have no regret that we were created to inhabit this geographical space in the West African axis of the African continent. Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, called out the President Bola Tinubu administration’s insensitivity to Nigerians’ economic challenges.He expressed deep concerns over the growing hardship the citizens are facing under the current government.In an open letter titled ‘President Bola Tinubu, time is going’, Gani Adams said, “We have no regret that we were created to inhabit this geographical space in the West African axis of the African continent.“Obviously, past leaders, since 1960, disappointed Nigerians with the way ‘Nigeria and Nigerians were badly led and resources selfishly managed’.”Adams then criticized President Tinubu’s campaign promises, saying, “When you came with the ‘Emilokan’ coinage…many Nigerians were persuaded that…you will perform better than Muhammadu Buhari.”Reflecting on the harsh economic conditions, Adams highlighted the skyrocketing fuel prices: “On May 29, 2023, when you became the Commander-in-Chief…the price of a litre of fuel was less than N200. Today, it is more than N1000.”He questioned the reform efforts of Tinubu’s administration, particularly in the economy: “What type of reform is this?… In May 2023, the Naira to a Dollar was less than N740. Today, it is more than N1,600.”Adams further decried the increase in insecurity across the country, noting, “…from the North to the South, East to the West, the rate at which Nigerians are being abducted…it was as if these blood-thirsty maniacs have just been unleashed on Nigerians from the hottest part of hell.”Concluding his letter, Adams urged the president to reconsider his policies: “Mr President, don’t you think the wicked and draconian increase in fuel price…is a huge recipe for crisis?” He insisted, “Nigerians can no longer bear this economic hardship any longer.” I’m
