Tinubu Knocks Atiku’s Pledge to Restore Fuel Subsidy, Calls It Economic Ignorance
President Bola Tinubu has criticised Atiku Abubakar over his promise to restore fuel subsidies if elected president in 2027. Atiku, the African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, reportedly made the pledge during an interview on Wednesday. He argued that the subsidy regime should return if he wins the next presidential election. Speaking at the Presidential Villa on Thursday, Tinubu described the proposal as evidence of serious ignorance about governance and the economy. Fuel subsidy removal and the naira float, introduced after Tinubu took office in May 2023, have remained major issues amid rising petrol prices and increased living costs.
