Primate Ayodele pointed out that the president's handling of the subsidy issue was inadequate, and he cautioned Nigerians not to have high expectations of the current administration.

‘’No matter how you want to put it, It is not yet time to remove the fuel subsidy, it will damage the present government. They should work on the subsidy technically.
"There is no way things won’t be hard, there is no way we won’t face economic hardship. Tinubu will not get this government better until 2026 if God decides to show mercy.
"There’s nothing bad in removing Subsidy but the method of removing it is what is causing issues now.
