Onuesoke faults Tinubu’s speech without plan to stop insecurity, fuel importation

Says Tinubu not ready to get Refineries to work


A former Governorship aspirant of Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Delta State, Chief Sunny Onuesoke has noted with dismay that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu failed to mention his plan to end importation of refined products and getting the Refineries working.

Onuesoke, reacting to the speech on Sunday, said the speech presented by Tinubu today Sunday 4th August, 2024, was a complete waste of time and embarrassing to Nigerians.

According to the PDP chieftain, President Tinubu failed to mention his plan to urgently address the rising inflation on foods, fuel and commodities that has subjected Nigerians to excruciating hunger and poverty.

“ President Tinubu has shown that he lacks the capacity and political will to stop importation of fuel and refined products to the benefit of few cabals holding the country to ransom. President Tinubu has also proven to Nigerians that he is not interested in getting our Refineries to work which he never made mentioned of in his speech”

“ The Federal Government led by President Tinubu appears overwhelmed and do not have solutions to the lingering banditry, kidnapping, farmers and herdsmen crisis leading to shortage of farm produce”

The Chairman of Onuesoke Foundation criticized President Tinubu’s failure to tackle the insecurity in parts of the country.

He advised President Tinubu to give full support to Dangote Refinery and other functioning private refineries to produce sufficient refined products.

“ The President, being the Minister of Petroleum must get the PH, Warri Refineries to start work as soon as possible to bring the prices of fuel down as that is the only way to drop the inflation “
