Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has accused incumbent President Bola Tinubu of planning to reintroduce fuel subsidy ahead of the elections, according to a world press conference held in Abuja. Atiku urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and not be deceived by this tactic, warning that Tinubu would revert to the previous policy of fuel subsidy removal if he secures re-election.
President Tinubu announced the removal of fuel subsidy in his inaugural speech on May 29, 2023, a move that saw petrol prices drop below N200 per litre. However, the price has since surged to N1,430 per litre. Atiku pointed out that Lagos transporters are preparing a protest, which he believes Tinubu could exploit to temporarily reinstate fuel subsidy once re-elected.
