Demola Olarewaju, a Senior Political Assistant to the African Democratic Congress presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, has accused President Bola Tinubu of stealing the idea of petrol pricing subsidy from Atiku. Olarewaju stated that Tinubu should express gratitude to Atiku for granting him permission to pilfer the idea. This came after Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele announced a 30-day fuel price discount at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited filling stations.
In a post on X, Olarewaju wrote, "We should thank Atiku for also giving Bola permission to steal the petrol pricing subsidy idea and put any name on it as they've now shamelessly done." He further stated that Nigerians should vote wisely for a peaceful exit of Tinubu from Aso Rock by next year. Olarewaju also called for true APC members to reject fuel price manipulation and pay escalating prices, highlighting Atiku's vindication and the exposed wickedness at Aso Rock. He urged Tinubu to bring back the subsidy or face the wrath of the voters.
