Katsina State governor, Dikko Radda, has enjoined the opposition coalition to tell Nigerians what their plans are for the petrol subsidy.
This is even as he described the politicians driving the coalition as power-hungry and only looking for ways to get back into government after having nothing to show for being an integral part of the last administration.
Governor Radda shared his thoughts on the coalition when he appeared on Channels Television’s flagship programme, Sunrise Daily.
He asked the group to tell Nigerians its plans for the country, especially in the area of petrol subsidy. He noted that if the coalition represents something positively different, Nigerians will embrace it.
“Let’s be realistic. If we are coming with something new to Nigerians, every Nigerian is going to embrace it.
“Who are these people in this coalition? Why were they not in another coalition before? What are they going to come and do differently from what is happening in the country now? Can they promise Nigerians what they are going to bring about?
“Let them come out and tell Nigerians, those who want to contest for president in this election. Let them come and tell Nigerians, are they going to bring the subsidy back?
“And if they are going to bring subsidy back, let them tell Nigerians how they are going to run the government, and with what resources are they going to run the government, and with what resources are they going to pay to bring about the subsidy,” he added.
