Nigeria: Atiku Faults Tinubu Over Rising Fuel, Fertiliser Prices

Atiku said Tinubu’s policies have pushed fuel and food costs higher, and he pledged to restore the subsidy if elected.

  • On Sunday, African Democratic Congress presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar accused President Bola Tinubu of damaging Nigeria's purchasing power through economic policies that made life expensive.
  • Tinubu's policies have driven fuel, food, and transport costs sharply higher, draining household budgets and trapping business capital in unpaid bills across Nigeria.
  • Citing domestic refining support from the Crude Oil Refinery Owners Association of Nigeria and energy strategies championed by President Donald Trump, Atiku argues his 'Production Subsidy' would restore purchasing power.
  • Spokesman Phrank Shaibu urged Nigerians to reject the current administration, arguing the choice remains between an economy that drains wealth and a plan designed to return money to citizens' pockets.
  • While the administration grants waivers to multinational oil companies, Atiku contends it attacks relief for ordinary citizens, promising to make life affordable again through targeted subsidies.
