Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has said the removal of petrol subsidy should translate into tangible benefits for Nigerians rather than increase the burden on households.
Obi stated this in a post on X on Tuesday, a day after appearing as a guest and panellist at the 66th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The former Anambra State governor said he remained committed to his position that Nigeria’s former subsidy regime was plagued by corruption, but argued that its removal should have been properly planned and implemented in phases.
