Tinubu stated that despite the fact that the subsidy reduction was not mentioned in his address, he decided to muster the fortitude to announce it.
He had said, “When I was declared a winner, I fell almost sick with joy. A few friends visited. So I asked the question, you asked me to bring this trophy, this victory what do you do with it? I won. We must change Nigeria with it.
“And then Wale Edun and co, we started debating, putting my speech together without the question on subsidy. I got to the podium, I was possessed with courage and I declared that the subsidy is gone.”
Oseni responded to Tinubu’s comments on Twitter, saying he was surprised Tinubu announced the subsidy reduction on the spur of the moment.
