The Federal Government has vowed to go after individuals sabotaging the nation’s economy.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, made this known in a statement he personally signed on Friday.
Idris stated that one of the decisions of President Bola Tinubu when he was sworn-in was the removal of petrol subsidy which all the “three major candidates” agreed on in their campaign messages.
He said, “It is instructive that the removal of the petrol subsidy was one policy decision that all the three major candidates were unanimous on in their campaign messaging.
“It is therefore mystifying to see people who had argued stridently for the removal, now pretending to be against it today. This insincerity does not bode well for our country and our democracy.
“As respected economists and experts have acknowledged, these foundational reforms will be difficult and painful for Nigerians in the short-term.
“The problems that we are solving are no doubt multifaceted, intertwined, and deep-rooted, requiring creative, strategic, decisive, and multi-pronged solutions. These bold moves being implemented are in full alignment with what is required.
