Nigerian Democratic Congress candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso has revealed the party's intention to reintroduce fuel subsidy in a new form if they secure the presidency in the upcoming 2027 election. In an interview with Arise TV, Kwankwaso criticized President Bola Tinubu's decision to dismantle the subsidy on his inaugural day, asserting that it has resulted in an "economic total mess" for Nigeria.
The former Kano State governor proposed various approaches to reintroduce the subsidy, including building additional refineries and implementing measures to significantly lower fuel prices across the nation. "We're bringing back fuel subsidy in our own way," Kwankwaso declared. "There are numerous ways to achieve this. We now have a refinery built by a businessman, and I am confident that more will be established."
He emphasized the NDC's commitment to reducing fuel prices, stating, "We in the NDC will do everything possible to bring down the price of oil."
