An All Progressives Congress bigwig just claimed President Bola Tinubu never actually killed fuel subsidies. Biodun Ajiboye dropped this take during a segment on Channels Television's Politics Today show, arguing the president just said subsidies were going away but didn't personally axe them.

Ajiboye said that back in May 2023, there was zero chance of keeping subsidies alive, no matter what anyone wanted. He pushed back against critics, asking why Tinubu would declare subsidies dead without getting ready first, questioning how the government could have possibly kept them going when he took office.

The APC member then switched to talking up economic wins under the current administration. He claimed unemployment crashed from 33 percent down to around 4 percent because different parts of the economy started soaking up workers beyond just the main industries.

Ajiboye said civil servant paychecks have landed on time every single month without fail. State governments stopped needing to borrow cash just to cover salaries like they used to before.
