According to Abdullahi Ganduje, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the hardship being felt by Nigerians as a result of President Bola Tinubu’s policy of removing fuel subsidies will only last a short while.
When he hosted the directors and secretaries of the several directorates of the disbanded APC presidential campaign Council, Ganduje claimed that Tinubu was very sincere with Nigerians since he had made his goals clear even before becoming president.
Major General Abdulmalik Jibril, a retired general, served as the delegation’s leader.

The APC Chairman asked Nigerians to put up with the current suffering because the policy will provide benefits that would outweigh the difficulties at hand.
In his words, “President Bola Tinubu was honest to Nigerians, he did not play a game with the removal of subsidy. He was very honest, even in his efforts to provide a solution to the effect of the subsidy removal.
“It came to the point that everybody was suffering. The removal of subsidies, there is no doubt, it’s a welcomed development. And you know, he didn’t want to deceive people even during the electioneering process. Before he was voted in, he said he would remove it, so he was honest. And now it has been removed, but of course, there are some pains.
“There is no doubt if you study the history of developed nations, they went through similar processes – one obstacle or another – and the people will have to suffer, but we are so happy that the President invited all the governors, irrespective of political leaning, and told them his agenda. His agenda is for immediate relief of the suffering, the medium measure, and the long-term measures.

“We are happy that most governments in the federation have taken the cue. They designed their state palliatives, and the federal government is also providing palliatives. But if you look at it, the short-term measure alone is not sustainable. It is the long-term measure that is important.”
Ganduje stated that the government is already working on obtaining vehicles that function on petrol and electricity and added that the vehicle would be delivered in a few months as a result of the loss of fuel subsidies and growing transportation costs.
He claims that the automobiles are “cheaper and in a few months, the Federal Government will distribute cars that run on electricity and petrol.” You are aware that our plentiful petrol supplies will ultimately result in very affordable transportation.
The APC National Chairman stated that Nigerians would have access to less expensive forms of transport thanks to the attention being paid to the country’s railway infrastructure.

“The Federal Government is developing the railway system in urban areas. In Abuja here and across the country, the railway that started from Lagos Ibadan to Kaduna to Kano to Katsina to Jibia and up to Maradi in Niger Republic, it is the same thing with the southern part of the country, in the northeastern part of the country, and even the South-South.
“There’s a blueprint for the development of the railway system, which will make transportation much easier. So for you to campaign and for people to understand the efforts of the Federal Government and other state governments to cushion the hardship of removal of subsidy is an effort that has to be commended,” he added.
