Many have taken to social media to express support for the move while others argue that those who protested against the same move under the former president, Goodluck Jonathan’s regime must do same now.

145 x 60 = 8700. For full tank. We move!
Good bye fuel subsidy!
Good bye fuel scarcity!

If removal of fuel subsidy is going to ensure I drive in to any filling station to buy fuel without queues, so be it.

I’m in total support of removal of fuel subsidy and complete deregulation of the entire oil sector: upstream and downstream.

If we don’t see improvement in the power sector by the end of next year with the removal of fuel subsidy. People will riot

Today I support the removal of fuel subsidy. But if Jonathan was to return I’ll oppose it as I did in 2012. He was a thief, that one.

That being said, I applaud @Mbuhari for the courage in reversing himself on this #fuelsubsidy issue. Hope the courage continues with Forex

2012: We praised those opposed to #FuelSubsidy removal.
2016: We attack those opposed to its removal.

My argument against the removal of fuel subsidy without first putting some things in place under GEJ remains valid under PMB.
