Dalung said this in a recent interview with Daily Trust while giving a review of the current administration.

Dalung said and I QUOTE “He goofed full-time by playing into the hands of subsidy racketeers, by making the statement that subsidy was gone. And Nigerians have not recovered from that trauma,” END QUOTE

He, however, said President Tinubu should reintroduce 50 percent if it is necessary to remove subsidies.

The ex-minister also said that the Presidnecy must defend Naira, “because allowing the Naira to float, is just like sending a soldier to go to war naked”.

The former minister urged the president to save the lives of Nigerians and redeem his name as they can no longer sacrifice for the future, due to his economic policies.

Dalung argued that people are in hardship and dying of hunger due to the current hardship facing the nation that needs to be addressed.

He further said that the President needs to save lives first before he talks about economic policies otherwise he will end up like immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari.
