The African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has faced criticism from the Presidency for promising to restore the fuel subsidy that was removed by President Bola Tinubu. Atiku made this statement in a recent interview, expressing willingness to consider bringing back the subsidy if elected as President in 2027.
In response, a presidential spokesperson, Sunday Dare, strongly condemned Atiku's remarks, labeling them as "hypocrisy and deceit." Dare accused Atiku of attempting to manipulate Nigerians in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections by making the promise. The spokesperson stated that Atiku's proposal is a "punishable manipulation of the public psyche," designed to deceive unsuspecting Nigerians into voting for him.
Dare warned that the ongoing recovery efforts across various sectors of the nation would be halted if Atiku's plan were to be implemented, urging all "men of conscience" to rise against the candidate.
