Ex-Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has defended President Bola Tinubu’s decision on subsidy removal, saying it is not easy to govern a country like Nigeria.

He said this in a brief interactive session with state house correspondents on Friday.

While reacting to a question on the motive behind the visit, Wike said “There’s no big deal about it, the governor of Oyo has told you what we came to do; to give him support. We are supporting all the decisions he’s taking, it shows that he’s prepared for the job and there’s nothing bad about that. It requires tough decisions for a country to move forward.”
