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, Daily Post Nigeria reports. Vatsa urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to reconsider the policy, stating that it has worsened poverty and imposed hardship on citizens.\n\nVatsa alleged that the policy has benefited state governors, elected officials, and government appointees more than ordinary Nigerians, and has pushed low-income earners below the poverty level.",
