Tinubu, Atiku Clash Over Petrol Subsidy as 2027 Election Nears
President Bola Tinubu has criticised former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar’s pledge to restore petrol subsidy if elected in 2027. Tinubu argued that bringing back the policy would place heavy pressure on government finances. Atiku has questioned how savings from subsidy removal have been spent. He says Nigerians deserve clearer accountability and tangible improvements in healthcare, education, security and poverty reduction. The disagreement puts fuel prices, transport costs and the wider cost-of-living crisis at the centre of the emerging 2027 campaign. The key issue for voters is whether affordable fuel can be achieved without returning to a subsidy system the government considers unsustainable.
