‘Use my ideas, take the credit but crash petrol price’ – Atiku tells Tinubu

In a recent press conference held in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, urged President Bola Tinubu to utilize his ideas and reduce petrol prices in Nigeria. During the event, Atiku reiterated his request for Tinubu to reverse fuel subsidies in order to alleviate the suffering of the poor masses.

He emphasized that Tinubu has approximately eight months left in his administration and should take immediate action to ease the burden on households, workers, and businesses. Atiku stressed that Tinubu should not be ashamed to implement necessary measures to lower petrol prices, as the idea was originally proposed by Atiku. He stated that a sensible idea should not become a bad idea simply because it originated from his opponent.

Atiku urged Tinubu to take the idea, rename it if desired, and even claim credit for the intervention, as the primary goal is to help Nigerians pay less at the petrol pump.
