South-West Monarchs Reject Fuel Subsidy Return, Back Tinubu for 2027

South-West traditional rulers have opposed bringing back fuel subsidies, saying the move would not serve Nigeria’s long-term economic interests. They announced their position after a meeting at the Olubadan’s palace in Ibadan, Oyo State. The monarchs also reaffirmed support for President Bola Tinubu and his administration, and said the presidency should remain in Southern Nigeria in the next electoral cycle. They backed the proposed state police initiative and called for peaceful, credible elections. Their position comes amid debate over high petrol prices and proposals to reintroduce a form of subsidy. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has suggested a production subsidy for locally refined petrol.
