Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Speaker of the House of Representative Yakubu Dogara on Friday said President Bola Tinubu didn\u2019t remove the subsidy on fuel even though he made the announcement.<\/p>\n

Dogara said there was no provision for fuel subsidy in the budget before Tinubu made the announcement.<\/p>\n

Featuring on Channels TV, the former Speaker insisted that fuel subsidy removal was a good move for Nigeria\u2019s despite the effect.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIn this case, there was no provision for it, and anybody who told you Tinubu suspended it was just joking because how did he suspend payment that was not budgeted for in the first instance?<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no provision for subsidy in that budget and I am not aware of any amendment that took place to accommodate the payment of subsidy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth is that he (Tinubu) was not the one who removed the subsidy. But he did make that pronouncement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no provision for it in the budget and you know the budget is backed by the Constitution. If there\u2019s no provision for it in the budget, then how do you pay for it?\u201d<\/p>\n
