Menu Fuel Tariff Reversal Shows Tinubu Running Trial-and-Error Govt – ADC Blows Hot Posted by Samuel on Sat 15th Nov, 2025 – tori.ng Share this news: In a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, ADC recalled its October 31st, 2025, statement in which it warned the Federal Government that the proposed tariff would deepen the hardship already created by subsidy removal, currency devaluation, and rising living costs. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has stated that the Federal Government’s decision to withdraw its proposed 15 percent import duty on petrol and diesel reinforces its view that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is operating a “trial-and-error” administration. In a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, ADC recalled its October 31st, 2025, statement in which it warned the Federal Government that the proposed tariff would deepen the hardship already created by subsidy removal, currency devaluation, and rising living costs. While commending the Tinubu government for listening to the opposition’s advice, the ADC emphasised that policies must be properly thought through instead of being hastily announced and later reversed. The party noted that this was the seventh instance in two years where a policy was announced and later withdrawn. ADC warned that the new levy could push the pump price of petrol beyond N1,000 per litre, further burdening families, commuters, transporters, farmers, and small businesses already struggling under fuel subsidy removal and currency devaluation without safeguards. “We also queried why the government was contemplating taxing imported fuel without first ensuring local capacity for production. “We find it quite interesting that these are the very reasons the government has given for reversing itself, which makes us wonder if any critical thinking and impact analysis happens in this government. What has become clear, however, is that President Tinubu is running a government of trial and error that is merely experimenting and bumbling through. “It is even more disturbing to see different agencies and officials of government singing discordant tunes on the same issue, as evidenced in their explanations for the tariff reversal. While one agency announced that the implementation of the policy was merely postponed, another said that it was no longer in view. This shows a government that is confused, unsure, and dangerously working at cross purposes. Nigerians deserve better. “We urged the Tinubu government to realise that public office is a responsibility, not a laboratory. The ADC will continue to stand firmly with Nigerians and speak out against any decision that threatens their wellbeing.” Share this news: Recent News 2026 WWC Playoffs: Nigeria vs DR Congo – Preview, Date, Time, Where To Watch Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 TCN Announces 3-Day Power Outage in Lagos Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 He’s Trying to Use 11 Microphones to Deny What He Said With No Microphone – Dino Melaye Mocks Wike Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 CAF Announces Free e-Visas For Fans Attending AFCON Morocco 2025 Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 I Don’t Hide, I Fight Harder — Victor Osimhen Declares After Heroics Against Gabon (Video) Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 Latest News S*xual Allegations: Police Urged To Probe Suspended Paystack Co-Founder, Ezra Olubi Published on Sat 15th Nov, 2025 India Deports Nigerian Man Over Visa Violation, Drug Peddling Published on Sat 15th Nov, 2025 Face Of Ex-Banker Arraigned By EFCC For Alleged Criminal Diversion Of Customer’s $510,000 (Photo) Published on Sat 15th Nov, 2025 I Received The Beating Of My Life Because I Nursed His Injured Brother – Nigerian Lady Reveals Domestic Abuse She Faced In Her Marriage Published on Sat 15th Nov, 2025 Blog Post Of Paystack Co-Founder Ezra Olubi Talking About Being Bis*xual And Wanting To Have S3x With A Male Co-Worker Emerges Published on Sat 15th Nov, 2025 I’m Alive, Hale And Hearty – Ex-Anambra Governor, Willie Obiano Debunks De@th Rumours Published on Sat 15th Nov, 2025 Fuel Tariff Reversal Shows Tinubu Running Trial-and-Error Govt – ADC Blows Hot Published on Sat 15th Nov, 2025 How DSS Re-Arrested Kuje Prison Escapee, Terror Suspect Obadaki Published on Sat 15th Nov, 2025 Nigerian Actor, Baba Ijesha Released From Prison After 5 Years Published on Sat 15th Nov, 2025 Former Anmabra Governor, Willie Obiano Is Not De@d – Ex-Commissioner Debunks Rumoured De@th Published on Sat 15th Nov, 2025 Nigerian Singer, Ayra Starr Storms Accra To Headline Tidal Rave Beach Festival (Video) Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 Christian Genocide: ‘I’m Cool As Cucumber’ – Tuggar Replies Piers Morgan On Panicking About His Interview Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 2026 WWC Playoffs: Nigeria vs DR Congo – Preview, Date, Time, Where To Watch Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 BBC Apologizes to Trump Over Edited Video Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 TCN Announces 3-Day Power Outage in Lagos Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 0 1 2 Older » Popular News This Query Letter Issued to LG Council Staff in Bauchi State Will Make You Laugh and Roll on the Floor Omg!
