The Minister of information and National Orientation Muhammed Idris has Cautioned Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki against distorting the facts about the fuel subsidy removal policy of the federal Government and efforts at cushioning the effects on the people.
The Minister in a Press statement on thursday in Abuja said statement credited to the Edo State Governor in the front page of the Dailies showed he clearly overlooked the bigger economic picture which pointed to the need to remove the fuel subsidy and reduce the burden it placed on the economy.
The federal Government says Edo state Governor Obaseki Benefitted from the fuel subsidy removal as its Federal allocation for the months of June and July Doubled more than it recieved before the removal of the fuel subsidy.
The statement advised the Governor to focus more on how the available resources can be well utilised for the development of the state and the people rather than engage in cheap politics.
The Federal Government however says it understands the pain of Nigerians under the current difficulties and will continue to work to improve on the Economy
