Members of the House of Representatives, on Tuesday, declared support for President Bola Tinubu on the sudden removal of petrol subsidy.

A member of the House, Jimoh Olajide, on the resumption of the legislative session on Tuesday, moved a motion of urgent public importance, seeking the support of the federal lawmakers on the pronouncement of President Tinubu after his inauguration on Monday in Abuja, that “The fuel subsidy is gone;” and adding that the federal government would instead disburse subsidy funds into infrastructure and other areas to strengthen the economy.

The House of Representatives members had urged Nigerians to exercise patience and be prayerful to allow President Tinubu deliver on his promises.
