Utomi the current situation in the country was an indication that the political class has failed Nigerians.
Appearing on Channels Television’s Politic Today, Utomi said called for the return of fuel subsidy regime.
According to Utomi: “The first thing to do is to recognise essential things that Nigerians need fuel for. I will subsidise those things.
“There will be a subsidy. The Americans have subsidy for Agriculture, it is a matter of where you direct it to.
“Nigeria’s political class is responsible for the Nigerian misery. The political class has failed the country.
“Look at the choices we have repeatedly made, look at the kind of National Assembly that we have. The political class needs to come out publicly before the country.
“In South-East Asia, people will come out and do a humiliation from what the public has suffered as a result of the irresponsibility of the political class in Nigeria.”
