The Nigerian presidency has ridiculed presidential candidates Peter Obi and Rabi'u Kwankwaso over their contrasting positions on fuel subsidy. Daniel Bwala, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communications, expressed his disbelief at their confusion. Kwankwaso had stated that the NDC would reintroduce fuel subsidy in a different form should they win the 2027 presidential election.
On the other hand, Obi proposed scrapping the subsidy, arguing that the mismanagement of funds should not prevent its removal. Bwala sarcastically remarked, "Both have different views about fuel subsidy. Their confusion is confusing me." He criticized the candidates for being engrossed in rhetoric rather than addressing the nation's real needs.
President Tinubu, according to Bwala, has been concentrating on issues that matter to the populace, including agriculture, oil and gas, manufacturing, and the digital economy.
