George mentioned that Tinubu should inform Nigerians whether his government is still providing fuel subsidy through unofficial means.
During an interview on Arise Television, the former PDP deputy national chairman Bode George criticized Tinubu’s administration for its lack of transparency.
There have been reports alleging that the Tinubu government secretly reinstated the fuel subsidy regime.
Furthermore, the former governor of Bauchi State, Isa Yuguda, accused the Federal Government of paying more for fuel subsidy than before.
In response to these claims, the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, revealed that Nigeria currently spends $600 million on fuel importation every month.
Reacting, George said: “I’m so miffed about the goings on about this particular industry. On one side you hear the subsidy is still there, on another side you hear that there is no subsidy, who is telling the truth?
“Let us know the truth for God’s sake, it is our fundamental right and if the people know what the truth is, they will support you to succeed.
“The NNPCL is owned by the Federal government which means it is owned by all Nigerians, we want to know what exactly is going on there.
“I’m not in that field of operation, but I’m educated enough to listen to A and listen to B and then conclude in mind if there is need to support the operations or the policies of the government we will and if there are shortfalls in what they are telling us, we will say.
