Atiku: I'll Restore Subsidy if Elected in 2027
Atiku said the policy has not helped Nigerians and cited N15.8 trillion in claimed savings as he vowed to reverse it if elected.
- Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, pledged on Wednesday to restore Nigeria's fuel subsidy if elected in 2027. He stated, "If I win the presidential election, I will restore the subsidy."
- During his May 29, 2023, inauguration, President Bola Tinubu ended the fuel subsidy, describing the scheme as unsustainable. Although Atiku initially supported the removal, he now contends the policy has failed to serve the interests of the populace.
- Questioning the Federal Government's claim of N15.8 trillion in savings, Atiku demanded that anyone who misappropriated subsidy funds must return the money. He argued that those who stole public funds were previously forced to return their loots.
- Despite the reported savings, Atiku emphasized that the current administration failed to improve healthcare, education, and security. He argued the subsidy removal has not yielded any benefit for Nigerians.
- Facing incumbent President Tinubu and Nigeria Democratic Congress candidate Peter Obi, the former Vice President seeks to win the January 2027 election. Atiku remains a key challenger in the upcoming race.
