Former Vice President and African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has clarified his position on fuel subsidy, saying his proposed intervention is aimed at reducing the cost of living for Nigerians, not returning to the old import-subsidy system. In a statement issued on Tuesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said the proposed policy would be a targeted, capped, transparently budgeted and independently audited subsidy designed to support domestic refining and petroleum production. The statement followed comments suggesting that an Atiku administration would restore fuel subsidy and later remove it. Atiku’s team rejected that description, saying the policy would instead have measurable exit conditions from the beginning. According to the statement, the intervention would gradually become unnecessary as domestic refining increases, fuel supply becomes more stable, competition grows and the market ...

2027: Adeleke Belongs To Us, We Belong To Tinubu – Wike

Image
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has declared that Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke belongs to the political camp supporting President Bola Tinubu, saying the emerging alliance will reshape the 2027 election. Wike spoke on Friday in Abuja while inspecting ongoing projects in the FCT, where he said Adeleke’s recent meeting with Tinubu and himself was part of efforts to strengthen the “Rainbow Coalition” backing the President. He said, “When you say opposition, I have told you, I don’t know what you call opposition. I say there is no opposition now. “Adeleke is only a member of the PDP, but because of the internal wrangling, and for him to be able to secure a ticket to run for a second term, he had to find a platform. “And that platform happens to be a good party, but he is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP. “And what happened last night is a meeting to review the Rainbow Coalition and he is supporting Mr President. It is a different p...

Image
Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), 2027 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Phrank Shaibu, has said his principal is proposing a targeted, capped and auditable subsidy for domestic production and not the old fuel import subsidy racket. Naija News recalls that in a Facebook live session, Atiku promised to restore the fuel subsidy regime if elected president in 2027. In response, the presidency said Atiku’s words show him as a man who lives in the past and does not understand current economic dynamics. The presidency also expressed concerns about Atiku’s change of mind after he had initially declared support for the fuel subsidy removal. Onanuga described the fuel subsidy regime as much-abused, wasteful, pillaged, and corruption-ridden. Reacting, Rufai Oseni, in a post via his 𝕏 handle, wrote, “President Tinubu once fought against subsidy removal. He wrote an article calling it Jonathan’s tax. “ Today, he’s condemni...
