The immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has commended President Bola Tinubu for removing fuel subsidy.

Speaking during a media chat on Tuesday, Wike stressed that electing Tinubu was not a mistake.

According to Wike: “He has shown leadership from the first day he took the oath. If we are to tell ourselves the truth, it can’t be business as usual; this subsidy is gone. How many presidents can take such a decision? For me, that is leadership, and he’s prepared for the job.

“It’s a hard decision, but he has to take it, and no good leader who means well for his people will start playing games.

“During his campaign, he said it; even PDP said it, so they all know that this is the problem for this country. We didn’t make a mistake; this is the kind of leadership we need in this country.”
