The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has stated that their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, will not allocate funds from the fuel subsidy regime to state governors, as President Bola Tinubu's administration has done. According to Theo Abu Agada, NDC's Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, Obi will not reintroduce the oil cabals that profited from the previous regime, unlike Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), who is proposing a return of fuel subsidy.
In 2023, Tinubu eliminated the fuel subsidy regime upon taking office in Abuja. Agada emphasized that Obi would use the funds from the fuel subsidy to build quality schools, provide healthcare, and create jobs for Nigerians. He criticized Atiku's proposal, noting that Obi has consistently advocated for the transparent management of the subsidy regime and the removal of the subsidy since 2012.
Agada urged the NDC to avoid the political tactics of the APC and support Obi's transparent management of the fuel subsidy funds.
