Successive Nigerian governments have proven irresponsible and largely insensitive to the suffering of the people. In its few weeks of mounting the power rostrum, the Tinubu administration has not evinced any exceptional trait that can trigger a perception that there will be a difference. Its starting point of glibly pronouncing that “subsidy is gone” without any thorough ideological – especially social and economical – evaluation is the barest slap planted on the faces of suffering Nigerians in recent time.
It beats one hollow to fathom that this administration would accept to implement a policy conceived by an economic novice as the Buhari regime which lacked the tact, faith, courage or conviction to remove subsidy in its eight years of woeful hold on the nation. It does sound like eating hemlock for another person’s suicide mission.
