Delta State, the Big Heart, is blessed with the very best Senators. All three Distinguished Senators from my state are a source of pride to our people, and this was the message I conveyed to the great Onwa of Anioma, Prince Ned Munir Nwoko, the Distinguished Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District.
We are proud of you, sir, not only for the yeoman's job you do in the Senate, but for the development you have attracted to Delta State.
Thank you, sir, and may God bless you.
For the third year in a row, President Tinubu gives Nigerians a December to remember!
Today is exactly ten days to Christmas, and unlike before 2023, there is no fuel scarcity in any part of Nigeria. Throughout the length and breadth of this nation of 235 million people, fuel is plentiful, and at a cost of under β¦900, it is also affordable.
Again, for the third December under President Tinubu, there is no fuel scarcity in Nigeria, and the price of petrol has reduced. This has never occurred under any previous administration.
When it occurred for the second time last year, and I wrote about it exactly a year ago, some people criticised me, saying these were basic things.
I quite agree. But oxygen is also a basic thing. That something is rudimentary does not mean it cannot be celebratory.
Because we, as a people, have incredibly short memories, let me remind Nigerians of what used to happen around this time in previous years.
Our people would be in queues at fuel stations, many of them sleeping overnight. Others would be there with Jerry cans. And then the media would report on stories of people's homes being burnt because of petrol stirred in such containers.
Others who were not stormy enough to wait in line at fuel stations would buy black-market gasoline, and inevitably, there would be news bulletins about blown or knocked-out engines and exploding generators.
Well, all that is in the past. Or, am I lying?
Let us not underestimate the big difference small improvements make!
If the availability of petrol and the reduction in its price were not such an important issue, why did these same people who pilloried me when I highlighted the issue also complain under previous governments when there was both petrol scarcity and a price hike in fuel in previous Decembers?
As a people, let us learn to appreciate progress. We should not wait until Nigeria builds a rocket that lands on the moon before we pat our country on the back.
If we complain when things go badly, then we should also commend when they operate well or even better than we expected.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as I drive into a petrol station in Abuja to buy fuel at a discounted price, I commend you for your policies that have turned Nigeria from the biggest fuel importer in Africa to the largest exporter of the same product in West Africa.
Well done, Your Excellency!
And for those who will lampoon me for praising the President for this achievement, please, first of all, conduct an AI search of your digital footprint. If in previous Decembers you ever posted a comment attacking the government for petrol scarcity and the unaffordability of the product, then search yourself and ask if you genuinely have the moral authority to censure me!
