[Miss Ifeoluwa]

The activist stressed that those who have stolen the
wealth of the country must be made to pay back.…..

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has cautioned
President Muhammadu Buhari not to entertain any plan
to remove fuel subsidy but rather establish modular
refineries to ease the pain of the citizenry.

Falana said this while speaking at a symposium
organized by the State Political and Legislative Powers
Bureau in collaboration with the June 12 Coalition of
Democratic Formations at LTV, Agidingbi, Ikeja in
commemoration of 22nd anniversary of annulment of the
June 12, 1993 general poll.

He said, “I am challenging the All Progressive Congress,
APC , led Federal Government because there are pressures
on President Muhammadu Buhari to inflict more
punishment on Nigerians by removing the fuel subsidy.”

The activist stressed that those who have stolen the
wealth of the country must be made to pay back.

Falana lamented that governors have paid less attention
to the diversion of public funds in the country, saying
“We must take back every penny from the oil companies
who owe the federal government.

On modular refinery, he said, “In our neighboring
countries, they have modular refineries and they were
built between $1 million and $15 million.

We must start to construct this especially in Lagos State.
With this, we will not be inflicting punishment on the
citizens. We will not be losing money but raise money.”
