Tinubu's Aide, Onanuga Blasts Atiku Abubakar On Subsidy - Politics

  STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE --Bayo Onanuga Nigerians cannot afford another opaque and potentially costly subsidy regime dressed up in new language. The former vice-president should be honest with Nigerians: either he has a coherent, costed, and workable petroleum policy, or he is simply playing politics with a policy that has significantly restored fiscal health to the three tiers of government and stabilised the macroeconomic environment. The economy is too serious for policy somersaults, incoherence, destructive populism and election gimmicks. Atiku says his subsidy will follow the barrel of crude. Is he aware that refined petrol only constitutes 45 per cent of the by-products of a refined barrel of crude? A barrel yields other products, such as aviation fuel, kerosene, and diesel, which were deregulated many years ago. Diesel, which the Obasanjo-Atiku administration deregulated in 2004, accounts for roughly 25% of the barrel. Jet Fuel and Kerosene make up about 9% of the barrel. ...
