Melaye: Tinubu Borrowed N151trn in 3 Years Without Subsidy, Buhari Borrowed N87trn

Former senator Dino Melaye has raised alarm over Nigeria’s rising debt under the current administration. He noted that under President Buhari’s subsidy regime, the country borrowed about N87 trillion. Yet in three years without subsidy, President Tinubu’s government has accrued N151 trillion. Melaye questioned why removing fuel subsidy has not eased fiscal pressure. His comments add to debates on economic reforms as opposition figures gear up for the 2027 elections.
