President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, on Thursday said the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has no plans of restoring fuel subsidy if elected President in 2027.
Recall that Tinubu had ended the fuel subsidy regime during
his presidential inauguration in Abuja in 2023.
The president had said the removal of fuel subsidy would
stop the cabals benefitting from the scheme, while the funds accrued would be
put to better use.
Since the commencement of the 2027 election campaign, the
ADC presidential candidate has being reeling out how he intends to restore the
subsidy on fuel.
Atiku’s spokesman, Kenneth Okonkwo, while featuring on Arise
Television’s Prime Time, said if the “entire subsidy was removed without any
plan, subsidy can be restored without any plan”.
Reacting, Bwala described Okonkwo’s remark as a populist
rhetoric.
Posting on X, the presidential aide wrote: “Hear @Atiku plan
to restore subsidy, lol we told you there is no plan, it’s just a populist
rhetoric.”
