Melaye Accuses Tinubu of Using Subsidy Savings to Win Governors’ Support
Former senator Dino Melaye has accused President Bola Tinubu of taking money from Nigerians through fuel subsidy removal and transferring the benefits to state governors for political support. Melaye argued that the governors benefiting from increased allocations cannot guarantee Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. He said the government is now asking Nigerians to hold governors accountable after putting more public funds in their hands. The remarks come amid renewed debate over fuel subsidy removal, with ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar saying he would restore the subsidy if elected in 2027.
