In one video, Peter Obi makes it clear that if elected president, he would immediately end gasoline subsidies. However, in another video, he claims he would postpone this action. Social media users and political observers have started talking about the apparent contradiction. Lere Olayinka repeatedly referred to Obi as "Mr ONE SHOE" in a series of tweets sent on his verified X page in response to the two videos. Obi was the former governor of Anambra State. According to reports, Mr. One Shoe stated, "I didn't say I will remove Fuel Subsidy immediately." "Fuel Subsidy will be eliminated right away," said Lere Olayinka. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4178993315671816&id=100006835661389 18 Likes 1 Share (Share⤴) Re: Lere Olayinka Reacts To Two Contradictory Peter Obi Comments On Subsidy Removal by TimeManager(m): 1:31pm On Aug 12 The two videos are embedded on the link side by side, the latter is where Obi was boastfully lying and denying ever claiming he would remove subsidy from day one, Lol. How many times have Peter Obi been caught lying, retracting, denying and caught lying again and again?. Lying and reeling out false statistics have become Obi's brand both locally and internationally. Whenever you hear the name Peter Obi, the first impression you have of him is " lies and falsehoods". Imagine Obi as President speaking among the international community and the international media factchecking him on the spot. That would be sooo embarrassing on the country. -Kiss the truth! 48 Likes 3 Shares (Share⤴) Re: Lere Olayinka Reacts To Two Contradictory Peter Obi Comments On Subsidy Removal by Shawarmagirl: 1:33pm On Aug 12 Lere Olayinka, I know you're trying to grow your Twitter account.

He campaigned with “He’ll remove subsidy immediately” so what other reality are you talking about? This same one the country is facing because someone else did or he’d remove it and once he sees the reality he’d back out? Government isn’t science where you test run for a long time before perfecting stuff for official use. 13 Likes (Share⤴) Re: Lere Olayinka Reacts To Two Contradictory Peter Obi Comments On Subsidy Removal by Gentledove2001: 3:07pm On Aug 12 He is not contesting for any election, Obi is a content creator.

They are different! All what Tinubu could achieve in these short time is possible cos he has the legislature in his pocket. I mean he has their loyalty hence he has the control and that is very significant. I cant think of anybody that has such loyalty. He has people accros board. he has in Obi camp, in Atiku's Camp, Kwankwaso and whatever camp you can think of and this is not because he is a president, as he had such loyalty even under Buhari and that was how he was able to win agsinst all of those odds. So I laugh when those old politucians that accusing him of sabotaging their party and even if it is true, they should have played along and fight it instaead of coming out to shout it. it makes them appear weak and vulnerable it reeks of adult that cant own up to responsibility in the same sense making Tinubu look immortal he might be to some extent but not like people think even with the opposition body language they are exergerating it. Is it Good? It is not to me expecially if the president has dictator tendencies or a bad and uneducated president like in the case of Buhari. But it is awesome if we have a president that mean well and know its Oninions and to be fair to Tinubu he is the best among these minions we call politicians. If you dont understand how government works you cant understand these things. What Tinubu has achived in the=is short 2 years supperseeds what other president did in 4, 8 years and you can say what you like but the fact is there. He did it not only cos he knows what he is doing but cos of loyalty of the legistation. The tax bill, LG autonomy, Insurance and all of the likes can only be achieved by Tinubu and no other politician as at today. Buhari printed over 20 trillion Naira, took loans to pay subsidy and have multiple exchange rates cos it favoured his tribesmen. No economy in the world could survive this. Tinubu didnt remove subsidy he just didnt continue it. Buhari stopped subsidy as he paid for subsidy only till the day he left office but we dont understand Governance in Nigeria. He absolved all the blame like a leader unlike those shouting sabotage of their party. If one thing I have against Tinubu is the fact that he is an APC so for that fact we couldnt punish the Buhari administeration that brought us to our kneels. they chose Religion and ethnic over the Nigerian People. Also I dont like his flamboyancy while the poor are going through hard time. its insensitive to me. The masses are vulnerable he should sympathise but showing effort in reducing exccesses. All the unneccesary SAs, private Jets and the flamboyancy in general. Before you say I am APC or whatever. It doesnt matter and like I always tell people. You do not need to try to fight or win people for Tinubu expecially. he will be fine. I said it when he was not in power not now that he is in power. If you like yarn nonsense he will win on a level playing ground and an unlevel playing ground. He is way above his pairs and they all know. Obi plus Aregbosola plus the whole collision is equal to 0.87 not even up to 1. dem no reach these people are political bandit and opportunist. I can bet my balls they are not significant. even anywhere belle face Obi.
