Fuel subsidy: Hardship not economic policy — Atiku replies Tinubu
Atiku says his plan would cap and audit petroleum support, while the Presidency says he is misleading voters ahead of the 2027 election.
- On Thursday, President Bola Tinubu taunted Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar regarding his promise to restore fuel subsidies if elected in 2027, criticizing the proposal while hosting Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State.
- Apparently fresh from a bowl of amala, Tinubu declared at Eagle Square that "subsidy is gone," triggering economic shocks that Atiku argues decimated household purchasing power and increased poverty across Nigeria.
- Senior Special Assistant Phrank Shaibu rejected claims of economic ignorance, describing the administration's actions as "economic arson" and arguing Tinubu's policies transferred solvency from household kitchens to government treasuries.
- Presidential aide Sunday Dare accused Atiku of attempting to manipulate Nigerians ahead of the 2027 election, as both men are among 19 candidates vying for the presidency on January 16, 2027.
- Audited accounts for Yet NNPC reportedly contain approximately ₦17.5 trillion in energy-security costs, while Atiku maintains his proposed plan is a targeted, capped production-support mechanism distinct from the previous regime.
