Presidential candidate of the Action Democratic Congress (ADC) in the 2023 general elections, Dumebi Kachikwu said former president Muhammadu Buhari left his successor, Bola Tinubu, in a difficult situation with the fuel subsidy issue.
Kachikwu stated this on Monday, June 5, while speaking on ChannelsTv programme, Politics Today, which was monitored by Politics Nigeria.
The ADC candidate stressed that Buhari did not want to take responsibility for the fuel subsidy removal.
“Obviously the President was handed a banana peel by the outgoing President Buhari, who failed to provide for subsidy beyond June when he was leaving office,” Kachikwu said.
“He obviously did not want to deal with that, and he pushed on that responsibility to the incoming government.
“We also understand that the Nigerian economy is in tatters, the government doesn’t have the funding and the NNPC is in a state of near comatose.
“They will crumble if they continue to fund subsidy, they are said to be owed over two trillion naira at the moment. President Tinubu just informed Nigerians of the situation he met,” Kachikwu said.
