Nigeria: 2027 - Atiku Using Subsidy Promise Like APC Used Muslim-Muslim Ticket
Fayemi said Atiku Abubakar’s subsidy pledge is a political tactic aimed at voters hurt by fuel subsidy removal, not an economic plan.
- During an Arise News interview, Former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi described Vice-President Atiku Abubakar's proposal to restore fuel subsidies as a political strategy rather than an economic solution.
- Fayemi compared Atiku's pledge to the All Progressives Congress's 2023 Muslim-Muslim ticket, arguing both tactics seek to maximize electoral support by appealing to voters struggling with economic hardship.
- While supporting full subsidy removal, Fayemi faulted the Federal Government's implementation, noting the Nigerian Governors Forum had developed a safety net strategy with the World Bank that the Federal Government did not utilize.
- President Bola Tinubu criticized the proposal, describing it as evidence of "serious ignorance" of governance and the economy, while maintaining that savings are being allocated to infrastructure development across Nigeria.
- Responding to criticism, Atiku clarified his proposal is not a return to the former subsidy regime, describing it as a targeted, capped, and budgeted intervention designed to support domestic production.
