Three weeks after his inauguration, President Bola Tinubu on yesterday in far-away France disclosed that those who wrote his inaugural address on May 29 did not include petrol subsidy removal.
Tinubu said the duo of Dele Alake and Wale Edun left out the vexed issue of subsidy from the speech handed over to him for delivery on the occasion.
He made the disclosure while meeting with Nigerians residing in France on the sidelines of the two-day financing climate pact summit which ended in Paris yesterday.
Tinubu said when he got to the podium on the inauguration day at Eagles’ square he discovered that they (Alake and Edun) had removed the issue of subsidy from the speech.
“I got emboldened and announced it”, the president said, adding that thereafter, he called the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd, GCEO, Mele Kyari, to inform him that subsidy had been removed.
