Famous broadcaster and socialite Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze, has thrown his weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the removal of subsidies on petroleum products.

The Daily Post recalls that Tinubu had, during his inaugural speech at Eagles Square on Monday, announced subsidy removal. He said, "The fuel subsidy is gone.”

The development has continued to trigger mixed reactions from Nigerians, especially from the opposition parties. While some applauded Tinubu for the bold step, others believed the policy was coming at the wrong time.

Reacting to the backlash from the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi’s supporters, Daddy Freeze, on his Instagram page, referred them to an old tweet where Peter Obi described fuel subsidies in the country as organized crime.

Sharing Obi’s tweet, Daddy Freeze stated, ”Before you start complaining, even Peter Obi said he would remove subsidies.”
