The inauguration ceremony of President Tinubu which was supposed to be a moment of jubilation turned sour after he announced that “subsidy is gone.”
Queues started materialising at the fuel stations in Lagos and other states, causing traffic.
It is unknown if there was a meeting where the pump price of premium motor spirit (PMS) was hiked.
But, as soon as the president, said “fuel subsidy is gone”, fuel became limited in supply and the pump price increased.

Some Nigerians however, are not carried away by what seems to look like the regular sweet melody politicians have been singing about fuel subsidy.
Dr Dayo Kayode, a public affairs analyst while discussing the topic: “President Tinubu Ends Fuel Subsidy.”
How Many Times Are We Ending Subsidy
Refused to be swayed by the sweet words of politicians that are always not backed by actions.
Kayode queried how many times we are ending fuel subsidy in this country.
He went down memory lane to remind Nigerians that in 2015, fuel pump price was hiked to ₦145 from ₦85.
Their government did this under the guise that the price difference would help develop education, infrastructure, and health among other things.
But we never saw them, this outgoing administration do anything with the proceeds of the increment.
Subsidy Is A Scam
He alluded to the fact that, in 2012, Tinubu claimed that the subsidy is a scam and that there was nothing like a subsidy.
So if the subsidy was a scam then, what are you ending now and where did it materialise from?
Why are these people always trying to scam the poor Nigerians who are working hard to make ends meet?

Recall also that in 2015, Tinubu scammed Nigerians.
Tinubu lied while campaigning for Buhari that fuel pump price will be reduced to ₦50 once their political party emerge as winners of the presidential election.
But this never happened.
So how can we trust Tinubu not to scam us again on fuel subsidy when he had done it before?
He is used to sugar-coating and telling us things he will not do in a million years.
