‘You Cannot Ask Moses To Go Back To Egypt,’ Tinubu Insists No Fuel Subsidy Return
President Bola Tinubu has ruled out any return to Nigeria's fuel subsidy regime, which he ended on his first day in office in May 2023, saying the country would have gone bankrupt otherwise. He used a biblical analogy about Moses not returning to Egypt to emphasize that with public support his government will not reverse the policy despite the resulting petrol price hike and public criticism.

Im use Bible story about Moses wey no go back Egypt to show say with people support, im government no go reverse di policy even though e cause petrol price increase and plenty criticism.
How this affects you: Nigerian citizens are affected by heightened cost of living due to the petrol pump price rise from under ₦200 per litre to between ₦1,350 and ₦1,405 per litre.
