Tinubu sleeps by 5am, deserves credit for subsidy removal – Former Sports Minister, Sunday Dare

The Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Public Communication and Orientation, Sunday Dare, has called for patience over President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s reforms, saying the Nigerian leader should be commended for his policies. 

While speaking on Channels TV on Thursday evening October 31, Dare said President Tinubu should be given credit for doing what other presidents could not do.

“You know, the subsidy was draining this country. A few hundred were making billions out of it. Every president said they would stop subsidy. None of them did. Let’s give this man some credit. We might not like it”

President Tinubu declared an end to the subsidy on fuel during his inauguration and later floated the country’s currency, all part of his administration’s reforms.

The moves have seen the cost of the essential product move from about N200 per litre to over N1,000 across the country, pushing it beyond the reach of millions of Nigerians who rely on the commodity to power their vehicles, homes, and businesses.

During the interview, Dare said the president is working tirelessly to fix the issues and make good his promises to the country.

“Tinubu is adept at governance. A man who burns the midnight oil when other men of easy virtue are carousing around. This is a man I worked with for seven years and we sleep at 4 5, 6 in the morning.”he said

According to Dare, the removal of subsidy on fuel and other reforms by the Tinubu government are audacious moves. He said his principal took the “road less travelled” by rolling out those policies. Despite the harsh effects of those programmes, Dare says what Tinubu “has been doing is trying to fix the problem”.
