Fuel subsidy: ‘Renewed hopelessness’, Obi’s aide, Kenneth Okonkwo blasts APC

Kenneth Okonkwo, one of the media aides to Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi has faulted proposed fuel subsidy removal by President Bola Tinubu.

Recall Tinubu, during his inaugural speech on Monday, May 29, announced the removal of fuel subsidy which led to a nationwide scarcity and hike of the product.

Kenneth who spoke to ARISE TV on Wednesday, blasted the current administration for inflicting pain on Nigerians within its few days in office.

According to him, the APC flag-bearer (Tinubu), during its campaign, promised Nigerians renewed hope but delivered hopelessness to them on the first day of inauguration.

“We already have a very beautiful model which we placed before the Nigerian people and they already accepted, so wouldn’t need to have a new model. We have a model that we are going to implement at the appropriate time.

“You have seen the model which they (APC) promised you, they promised you renewed hope but from the first day of the inauguration, they gave you renewed hopelessness,” he said.
