Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), criticized the Federal Government's handling of savings from petrol subsidy removal, stating that Nigerians have been impoverished despite the huge resources generated. He made these remarks during an exclusive interview on Arise News on Thursday as part of its presidential series. Obi argued that the problem was not the removal of subsidy itself but the failure to deploy the resulting savings productively. He noted that the Federal Government disclosed that the subsidy removal generated about N15.8 trillion, a figure he referenced repeatedly.
