No further details were provided in the reports.\n\nA separate issue was raised by Hon. Jonathan Vatsa, a chieftain of the APC in Niger State, who backed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's criticism of the Federal Government's fuel subsidy removal policy, as reported by Daily Post Nigeria. Vatsa argued that the policy had worsened poverty and imposed hardship on citizens, and urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to focus on the substance of Atiku's criticism rather than his identity.",
