Somebody is asking me for advise on how he can survive fuel price increase. What can I say? Personally I'm even considering buying a horse!

The media mogul who chairs the board of the Silverbird Group, went on to express support for the decision to deregulate the downstream oil sector and said that if the opposition had not resisted former President Goodluck Jonathan’s move to remove fuel subsidies in 2012, Nigeria would have had a better economy.
If the opposition had not resisted @GEJonathan when he removed subsidy in 2012, Nigeria would have had a better economy today.

The then opposition accused @GEJonathan and @PDPNigeria of using subsidy to enrich PDP supporters yet did not want them to remove subsidy!

I actually believe Kachikwu took the right decision for our economy. But why did the then opposition frustrate GEJ from doing it in 2012?
