In a media statement released by his spokesperson, Phrank Shaibu, and titled “Atiku boasts of stakeholders, Trump support on fuel subsidy,” the former vice president explained that his proposed “Production Subsidy” aims to put money back into citizens’ pockets by prioritizing local manufacturing and petroleum refining over heavy import reliance. According to Atiku, boosting domestic output and supply will ease pressure on buyers and ensure lower pump prices. He noted that just as the Crude Oil Refinery Owners Association of Nigeria (CORAN) advocates for domestic production, the United States under Trump recognizes the critical need to support strategic energy output. Furthermore, Atiku criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration for condemning citizen-focused relief while simultaneously granting financial concessions and waivers to favored corporate entities and multinational oil businesses.
