The Minister who defended the removal of subsidy on petrol spoke in
Benin City at the child dedication of the General Overseer, Rock of Ages
Christian Assembly, Apostle Charles Osazuwa.
His words: “I have the hope that those who are offended by virtually the
policies that we have pursued and to see it free to break the pipelines
and express their anger, will sooner or later, see the hope that we are
trying very hard to produce and work with us in brotherhood to fix this
country.
“We have hope that agriculture will take hold and we shall feed the
children and our communities and make this country an economic hub that
would make Nigeria, that giant again.”
“I urge all of you to begin to look at the Country where you do not
spend all your time criticising people, criticising your leaders,
criticising concepts and ideas, but empower yourself because you were
here for a purpose and add value to Nigeria.
”It is not about me or the national Chairman of (APC), but, it is
actually about you and the Country- Nigeria and believe in your sense of
service”.
