I’ll restore fuel subsidy if elected president — Sowore

Presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore of the African Action Congress has announced his intention to restore fuel subsidy if elected President in the 2027 election. During an interview on ARISE TV, Sowore argued that the Federal Government is still subsidizing various aspects of the economy, including the Naira, despite the removal of petrol subsidy.

He criticized the lack of transparency surrounding these subsidies, stating that wealthy Nigerians benefit more than the poor. Sowore also linked the removal of fuel subsidy to the decline in the value of the naira and broader economic challenges, and criticized the use of the term "multidimensional poverty" to describe Nigeria's economic situation.
