Tinubu’s Clarification on Fuel Subsidy Removal:
In the midst of concerns over the removal of fuel subsidy and the subsequent long queues at petrol stations across the country, President Bola Tinubu clarified that the announcement was neither a new development nor an action taken by his administration.
The Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Media Centre, in a statement on Tuesday, emphasized that the end of fuel subsidy would not take immediate effect.
Status Quo Explained:
According to the statement, the removal of fuel subsidy was not a new occurrence, as the previous administration had planned and approved a budget for fuel subsidy that was intended to last only for the first half of the year.

The panic-buying witnessed following the announcement was deemed unnecessary.
Conclusion:
The removal of Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Twitter verification badge on the same day as the previous Vice-President’s badge raises questions about the verification process on the micro-blogging platform.
Meanwhile, President Tinubu’s clarification on the fuel subsidy removal aims to address the public’s concerns and emphasize that the situation is not a sudden change but a continuation of existing policies.
