The decision to remove fuel subsidy by President Tinubu has caused negative reactions among Nigerians, who have been bemoaning the hardship that followed the decision.

Reacting to the President's decision, popular comedian, and Senior Special Assistant to the Ondo state governor on Tourism, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, best known as Seyi Law, has supported the decision of President Tinubu to remove fuel subsidy.

He admitted that the fuel subsidy removal has led to serious economic hardship across the country, however, it would pay in the long run.

He argued that the fuel subsidy should have been removed earlier in 2012, during the presidency of Goodluck Jonathan. However, it was protested against by President Tinubu, who was the leader of the opposition party at the time.

He noted that if it had been removed during Jonathan's tenure, Nigerians would have been enjoying the benefits by now.

“Fuel subsidy should have been long gone. If it had gone in 2012 we would have gone through the pain process and by now we would have been healing.

“In 2012, I was the only celebrity that went on stage to kick against the anti-fuel subsidy movement. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala came out to say that the nation could not afford to pay salaries. “We were borrowing to pay salaries."
