The candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the February 25 presidential election, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has told Nigerians lamenting over the hardship brought upon them by the removal of fuel subsidy that they should not cry yet because the government would still take more difficult decisions.
He argued that President Bola Tinubu was just fulfilling one of his campaign promises which Nigerians were aware of before they voted him into power.
He also stated that last week’s protest by the Nigerian Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress shouldn’t have been held because the subsidy removal was part of the promises President Tinubu, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), made to Nigerians before the elections.
He stressed that what the labour unions and Nigerians should do now is to support the Tinubu administration to succeed.
