They urged Nigerians to be patient so that the president can deliver on his promises.

Members of the House of Representatives, at plenary on Tuesday, backed the decision of the federal government to end petrol subsidy.

The lawmakers hailed what they described as courage and boldness to serve the country Nigeria with honesty and integrity.

According to them, this showed his readiness for national task ahead and service to humanity.

The House appealed to Nigerians to remain patient, resilient and prayerful so that the President can deliver on his promises.

 The resolutions followed the adoption of a motion of urgent national importance sponsored by Hon. Jimoh Olajide (APC, Lagos).

Moving the motion, Olajide noted that Tinubu on May 29th 2023 made a Public Pronouncement on fuel subsidy removal.

He said Tinubu was a concerned senior citizen whose agenda was to favour the down trodden for the purpose of humanity.

He explained that there was no provision for fuel subsidy in the 2023 Appropriation Act, and that the current 9th Assembly and the past administration had given it a legal backing.
