The vice presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has said the party would reintroduce fuel subsidy in a different form if it wins the January 2027 presidential election.
Kwankwaso stated this in an interview with Arise TV,
describing President Bola Tinubu’s decision to remove the subsidy on his first
day in office as a mistake that has plunged Nigeria into what he described as a
“total mess, economically.”
The former governor of Kano State said there were several
ways the subsidy could be reintroduced without returning to the previous
system.
He added that the NDC would focus on building more
refineries and implementing measures that would significantly reduce the price
of fuel across the country.
“We’re bringing back fuel subsidy in our own way. There are
so many ways to do that. Now we have a refinery built by a businessman and I am
sure more will be built.
“If individuals in this country can build refinery, I see no
reason why the government will not build refineries.
“We in the NDC will do all it takes to put the price of oil
down”, Kwankwaso said.
