African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has urged President Bola Tinubu to adopt his proposals and reduce the pump price of petrol in Nigeria.
Atiku made the call on Friday during a world press conference at his residence in Abuja.
The former vice president reiterated his appeal for Tinubu to reverse the removal of fuel subsidy in order to ease the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
He asked the president to use the remaining eight months of his current term to lighten the burden on households, workers and businesses.
“That is why I am calling on Tinubu to act now. He has approximately eight months remaining in office.
“Tinubu should not be ashamed to do what is necessary to lower the price of petrol simply because Atiku Abubakar proposed a government intervention.
“He should just take the idea, rename it if he wishes, and even take the credit. What matters to me is that Nigerians pay less.
“A sensible idea does not become a bad idea because it came from your opponent. If responsible intervention can lower prices, intervene. If changing course can help Nigerian families, change course for God’s sake.
“Nigerians do not need another elaborate palliative economy. Do not make life unbearable,” Atiku said.
