Atiku’ll restore petrol subsidy, phase it out later — Spokesman

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar's spokesperson, Paul Ibe, has stated that if elected president in 2027, Atiku will restore the petrol subsidy but will gradually phase it out after the economy recovers. The proposed subsidy would be tied to crude oil production and domestic refining, providing temporary relief to Nigerians and businesses.

Ibe criticized President Bola Tinubu's administration for removing the subsidy without allowing the economy to adjust, arguing that it has worsened the economic hardship faced by Nigerians.
