The statement, made during Tinubu's inauguration, has resulted in a scarcity of petroleum products, causing Nigerians to bear the brunt of the policy.
Olajide stressed the need for legislative support to ensure the successful implementation of the subsidy removal, citing President Tinubu's campaign promises.
He emphasised that backing the President in delivering dividends of democracy would contribute to the nation's development, as Tinubu is determined to fulfill his commitments.
