The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has accused President Bola Tinubu of planning to make Nigerians forget the hardship caused by the removal of the fuel subsidy as the 2027 election draws closer.
Atiku made the claim in a statement issued on Wednesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, in which he alleged that the Tinubu administration was considering bringing back the fuel subsidy through what he described as “the back door.”
According to the former vice-president, the move was driven by politics rather than concern for Nigerians.
“Tinubu wants Nigerians to forget the pain because an election is approaching. They will not,” Atiku said.
