Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has praised President Bola Tinubu for the removal of fuel subsidy, attributing the decision to the recent drop in fuel prices and commodities in the market.

Omokri made the claim in a post on X, describing the president as "the man who saw tomorrow."

He noted that the president's unilateral decision to remove subsidies at his inauguration — which was widely criticised — is gradually yielding positive results.

Taking a swipe at other presidential candidates, he explained that it is always better to have a "First-Class accountancy graduate as your president."

"If the second-class lower philosophy graduate had been president, Nigeria would have been worse off," Omokri added.

The Man Who Saw Tomorrow

When President Tinubu removed fuel subsidies and said prices would initially rise and gradually fall, many Nigerians insulted him. Twenty months later, what he said has prophetically started manifesting in reality with the Dangote Refinery-NNPCL price war. Nigerians can expect more petrol price reductions.

As the President explained when he courageously removed fuel subsidies, competition among sellers results in celebrations for buyers.

Under President Tinubu, we have had the first Christmas and Ramadan in Nigeria's history when food and fuel prices were simultaneously reduced, and neither commodity was scarce. Inflation has reduced from close to 40% to 24.48% in February.

In the past, the reverse was the case. We had fuel queues, food shortages, and higher prices during these festivities.

This is one of the fringe benefits of having a First-Class accountancy graduate as your president. If the second-class lower philosophy graduate had been President, it is unlikely that these price reductions would have occurred.

Or am I lying?
