Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has criticized the Tinubu government for its claim to have ended fuel subsidy while continuing to fund fuel price shortfalls. According to Atiku, the government's own spending records refute its assertion of subsidy removal. He proposed a targeted, transparent and time-bound fuel subsidy plan, differentiating it from the old system.
Atiku's plan includes independent auditing and a clear exit strategy, aimed at restoring public purchasing power. He accused the government of applying different economic standards to large oil investors and ordinary Nigerians, highlighting tax credits and incentives available to petroleum operators.
