A leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2023 Presidential Campaign Support group, Bola Campaign Organization (BCO), Alhaji Abdulwahab Korede Quadri, FCIB, has cautioned the former President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu noting that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and APC would have lost the election if his principal has removed fuel subsidy in his last days in office.
Alhaji Korede Quadri berated the statement in a statement he signed on Tuesday, arguing that Garba Shehu no longer serves in his capacity as Presidential Spokesperson and should not interfere with the running of the current administration.
He posited that Nigerians will soon start seeing positive results from the removal of fuel subsidies by the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Quadri expressed confidence that issues arising from the removal of fuel subsidies will be addressed to cushion its effects on Nigerians.
He however called on the former presidential spokesperson to maintain a distance from the present administration to enable it to focus on the delivery of dividends of democracy to all and sundry.
He said, “My attention has been drawn to a statement made by the ex-presidential Spokesperson, Garba Shehu titled: “Why did it take the new Tinubu/Shettima Presidency weeks to remove the petrol subsidy when Buhari didn’t do so for years?”.
“It must be on record that former President Muhammadu Buhari after the expiration of his administration has not reappointed Garba Shehu as his spokesperson and doing so may generate mixed reactions among the citizens”.
“It has also been established that some section of the past administration frustrated Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s journey to become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, with naira scarcity and some others”.
“Similarly, if the deliberate redesigning of the Naira did not cause the electoral victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I then wonder how the subsidy removal by past administration would have caused the “divine” electoral victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.
“I am however urging Garba Shehu not to distract Tinubu/Shettima led administration from the onerous tasks facing them and the nation in their quest to deliver dividends of democracy to all Nigerians”.
“Let me, however, reassure Nigerians that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would do everything within his reach to address all lingering issues and challenges occasioned by the subsidy removal which has caused untold hardship on Nigerians”, he added.
