Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Public Communications and Orientation, Sunday Dare, says his principal should be commended for the removal of fuel subsidy.
Dare stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today, and that which was monitored by Urban Express News Online, while calling for patience over Tinubu administration’s reforms.
He said the president is working tirelessly to fix the issues and make good his promises to the country.
“Tinubu is adept at governance. [He is] a man who burns the midnight oil when other men of easy virtue are carousing around.
“This is a man I worked with for seven years and we sleep at 4, 5, 6 in the morning,” the former minister of sports and youth development said.
He said the removal of subsidy on fuel and other reforms by the Tinubu government were audacious moves.
He said his principal took the road less travelled by rolling out those policies.
Despite the harsh effects of those programmes, Dare said what Tinubu had been doing was trying to fix the problem.
Recall that protests over the harsh economic conditions were held in August this year and another one in October as part of a push to make the president reconsider the policies.
Although Tinubu acknowledged the difficulties posed by his administration’s reforms, he has stuck to them, calling on Nigerians to be patient as they would yield dividends in due time.
