In a conversation with reporters during a Thanksgiving church service in Kaduna, Dogara expressed support for the President’s actions, stating, “We stand by him on the subsidy removal but he must be courageous to pursue the subsidy Cabals and recover all the stolen monies from them and prosecute them accordingly.”
