The immediate past House of Reps Member in Ogo Oluwa Surulere Federal Constituency, Hon Segun Dokun Odebunmi has assured Nigerians that the pump price of the Premium Motor Spirits otherwise known would drop drastically and, thereby urged the people to keep faith with President Tinubu-led Federal Government.
Hon Odebunmi who insisted that petrol subsidy is a fraud submitted that its removal is justifiable.
The former lawmaker admitted that though things are hard now the policies of the federal government will soon be yielding positive development and better transformation.
According to him, “Nigerians are not the ones enjoying the subsidy when we were playing it because the volume of refined fuel that is being imported into the country is far below the amount of fuel the government is paying subsidy for, we are only subsidizing fuel for our neighbouring countries and some individuals who are heavily milking the nation resources through Subsidy claims.
However, with the determination of the federal government to fix the refineries, the price of fuel will come down and other things will follow suit, we will even be exporting petrol to other countries.”
