Dear Nigerians,
The consequences of fuel subsidy removal are no longer theoretical; they have become the painful reality millions of Nigerians face every single day. Transportation costs have skyrocketed. Food prices have become unbearable. Small businesses are struggling to survive. Parents can barely provide for their families, while workers watch their salaries lose value in the face of rising inflation.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu removed fuel subsidy, and Nigerians are living with the devastating effects of that decision. The burden has fallen heavily on ordinary citizens rather than on those responsible for decades of corruption, waste, and economic mismanagement.
It is also important for Nigerians to remember the public positions of those seeking leadership. Peter Obi @PeterObi, Atiku Abubakar @atiku, Rabiu Kwankwaso @KwankwasoRM, and several other politicians have, at different times, stated that they would remove fuel subsidy if elected into office, often arguing that the proceeds would be redirected to development projects and social investments.
But Nigerians must ask difficult questions: Why is sacrifice always demanded from the poor? Why must workers, traders, students, farmers, and pensioners continue to bear the weight of policies they neither designed nor benefited from?
The poor did not loot the treasury.
The ordinary citizen did not create this economic crisis.
The struggling masses should not be punished for the failures of the political elite.
Omoyele Sowore @sowore stands apart by insisting that he will not remove fuel subsidy. He has maintained that Nigeria’s enormous wealth should first be recovered from corruption, reckless spending, and the extravagant privileges enjoyed by the ruling class, rather than forcing ordinary Nigerians to suffer even more hardship.
Leadership is not about increasing the pain of the people and calling it reform. Leadership is about protecting the vulnerable, defending the public interest, and ensuring that the nation’s resources work for the benefit of all.
Nigerians must decide what kind of future they want: a nation where citizens continually pay for the excesses of the powerful, or a nation where governance is built on justice, accountability, compassion, and the dignity of every Nigerian.
The choice is ours.
Choose leaders who stand with the people, not politicians who make the people pay the price for elite failures.

How can we Nigerians even sleep at night knowing that kidnapped children and their teachers are trapped in cold forests, surrounded by ruthless kidnappers? While we lie safely in our homes, mosquitoes 🦟 pierce their fragile skin with their proboscis, injecting parasites that could lead to malaria, as fear, hunger, exhaustion, and uncertainty threaten their very lives.
These are not just headlines or statistics; they are our fellow Nigerians. They are someone’s children, someone’s parents, someone’s hopes, dreams, and future. Their pain should trouble our conscience, and their cries should echo in our hearts until they are rescued and reunited with their loved ones.
Nigeria cannot become a nation where innocent lives are abandoned to suffering while the rest of us carry on as though nothing has happened. If their agony does not move us to compassion and action, then we must ask ourselves what has become of our humanity.

"Nigerians are paying more for services not rendered to the Nigerian people. But we have got to the stage now where we have to ask questions. Electricity companies are planning to increase their tariffs again.But this time around, they will have to justify it."

Hmmmmm!
I keep wondering the real reason people like Aisha Yesufu and other would leave SOWORE and go and fighting an already compromised war in party like NDC, ADC
