Atiku tackles Oyedele, says Nigerians deserve to know details of $5bn Abu Dhabi loan

Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice-President, has called for transparency regarding a $5 billion loan from Abu Dhabi. According to TheCable, Atiku said Nigerians deserve to know the details of the loan.

Atiku also criticised President Bola Tinubu's removal of fuel subsidy in 2023, describing it as "economic apartheid". He claimed that the subsidy was not removed but rather taken away from the poor and given to the rich.

Atiku's comments come amid a disagreement with President Tinubu's government over fuel subsidy. The presidency had previously stated that Atiku's proposal to return to a fuel subsidy regime if elected in 2027 was not in the best interest of Nigeria.
