Bwala said Tinubu should have put in place deliverables that would cushion the effect of subsidy removal before making the declaration.

Daniel Bwala, an aide to Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate has lashed out at President Bola Tinubu.

According to Bwala, Tinubu misfired in his first executive decision.

Bwala noted that Tinubu should have put in place deliverables that would cushion the effect of subsidy removal before making the declaration.

He noted that the Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress, APC, failed to provide deliverables before announcing the subsidy removal because they want Nigerians to suffer.

Tweeting, Bwala wrote: “If you don’t know strategy, you suffer political tragedy. The first executive decision of @officialABAT was misfired; not a good sign for him and his economic whisperers. Although all candidates agree on the removal of fuel subsidy, albeit they differ in the procedure.

“There is no excuse for this policy gaffe because it was a transition between APC @OfficialAPCNg @MBuhari to APC @OfficialAPCNg @officialABAT in which there were comprehensive transition meetings where enough briefings on the travails of the past administration in dealing with fuel subsidy were shared.

“From when fuel subsidy removal was legislated to date, enough time was had to have provided robust and workable deliverables for cushioning the effect, yet because APC pride on afflicting Nigerians with holocaust hardship they chose that path. They just love to grab power without concrete plans for economic recovery.”
