The African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has reiterated his commitment to restoring petrol subsidy if elected president in the 2027 general election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The former Vice-President made the pledge in a post shared on his X handle on Monday, alongside a campaign video outlining his position on the policy.

“My position stands! I will restore subsidy to make life easier and more affordable for Nigerians,” Atiku wrote.

The video compared petrol prices in Nigeria with those in other oil-producing countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Libya, Iran and Venezuela, arguing that citizens in those nations pay significantly less for the product.

According to the video, Atiku’s proposed subsidy arrangement would apply only to petrol refined locally, excluding imported products. The policy would also remain in place until domestic refineries become self-sustaining.

Atiku was further quoted in the clip as saying, “My position has not changed and will not change. I will restore it.”

President Bola Tinubu announced the removal of the petrol subsidy during his inauguration speech in May 2023. His administration subsequently promised to channel the savings from the policy into infrastructure development and social services.

Atiku has made the reversal of the subsidy removal a major part of his 2027 campaign agenda. Other promises include reopening Nigeria’s land borders and addressing insecurity.

He reiterated these commitments during the ADC presidential campaign flag-off rally in Sokoto on November 4.

The former Vice-President secured the ADC presidential ticket in May, marking his seventh attempt to become Nigeria’s president.

However, the Federal High Court in Abuja nullified his candidacy on November 5, alongside decisions taken by the party’s David Mark-led leadership.

The ADC has since appealed the judgment and is seeking a stay of execution.

The presidential election is scheduled for January 16, 2027, while governorship and State House of Assembly elections are slated for February 6, 2027.
