Former spokesman to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the 2023 general elections, Bayo Onanuga, says the Nigerian Government is “virtually broke.”
Onanuga who gave the submission via Twitter stressed that the subsidy on fuel is no longer sustainable, hence, citizens should be patient as the President develops incentives to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal.
“Subsidy of fuel is no longer unsustainable as the FG is virtually broke.
