Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A close ally of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Ibrahim Masari, has said that anyone who voted for the president in the 2023 general elections has no reason to regret their decision.<\/p>\n

Masari, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), made the statement during an interview with the BBC while speaking on Tinubu\u2019s performance as his administration marks two years in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who voted for President Tinubu between himself and God has no regrets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that President Tinubu has recorded many achievements, especially in the areas of security and the economy, despite the current hardship being experienced by many Nigerians.<\/p>\n

One of the major steps taken by the president, Masari said, is the removal of fuel subsidy.<\/p>\n

However, he defended it as a bold and necessary decision that has helped the government save money and invest in development projects.<\/p>\n

According to him, the president demonstrated rare political courage by removing fuel subsidy, a move previous presidents could not carry.<\/p>\n

\u201cPast presidents wanted to do it but couldn\u2019t. He did it because of how much of the country\u2019s money was being wasted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Masari also explained that the funds previously spent on fuel and electricity subsidies are now being redirected to important areas of national development, helping both the federal and state governments to function better.<\/p>\n

He acknowledged the hardship many Nigerians are going through but insisted that the decisions taken by President Tinubu are meant to build a stronger and more stable country in the long run.<\/p>\n
