Atiku fires back at Tinubu over ‘ignorant’ fuel subsidy comment

Atiku Abubakar rejects Tinubu’s ‘ignorant’ fuel subsidy comment, accusing the administration of worsening the cost-of-living crisis.

Atiku insisted that the president has mistaken Nigerians' capacity to endure suffering for evidence that his economic policies are working.

[This Day] Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has pledged to restore Nigeria's petrol subsidy if elected president in the 2027 presidential election.

“This is desperation of the most pitiful kind, an admission he is clueless and out of touch with Nigeria’s economic realities and imperatives of reform.”
