Atiku faults FG’s 30-day petrol discount, demands lasting relief

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, has criticized the Federal Government's proposed 30-day petrol discount, describing it as a temporary measure that fails to address the ongoing hardship caused by high fuel prices. Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, Atiku called the initiative a "panic-driven publicity stunt" and accused the administration of offering a month of relief instead of tackling the broader cost-of-living crisis.

He questioned what would happen after the 30-day period, emphasizing that Nigerians would still face high fuel, transport, and food costs.
