Mr. Ken Imansuagbon, a former Edo State governorship aspirant and member of the African Democratic Congress, has expressed support for Atiku Abubakar's campaign after he announced a pledge to restore fuel subsidy if elected in 2027. Imansuagbon believes this policy reversal would provide immediate relief to millions of Nigerians struggling with economic hardship.
He criticized the government's decision to remove fuel subsidy under President Bola Tinubu as "misplaced" and "politically motivated", arguing that it has only worsened inflation and exacerbated poverty. Imansuagbon stated that Atiku's proposal is a sign of compassionate leadership, capable of making a real difference in the lives of Nigerians.
He emphasized that the real debate should be about whether the subsidy policy has improved the quality of life for ordinary citizens, rather than whether it should be kept or removed. Imansuagbon expressed confidence in Atiku's ability to lead Nigeria out of the "economic quagmire" created by the current administration and pledged to support policies that prioritize people's welfare over partisan politics.
