CITIZENS COMPASS— The presidential candidate of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, on Sunday, revealed the plan of the President, United States of America (USA), Donald Trump, towards fuel subsidy in Nigeria.
Atiku said that the US president is currently backing his proposed policy on the restoration of fuel subsidy.
Citizens Compass reported that Atiku had pledged to return the fuel subsidy should he become the President of Nigeria in 2027.
Atiku’s spokesman, Phrank Shaibu, disclosed this in a statement tagged, ‘Atiku boasts of stakeholders, Trump support on fuel subsidy’.
It reads: “This is why my Production Subsidy is about putting money back into people’s pockets. Support what we produce and refine here, increase supply, monitor the price and make sure Nigerians feel the benefit at the pump.
“CORAN is saying support domestic production. America understands the importance of supporting strategic energy production.
“Yet Tinubu attacks relief for ordinary Nigerians while his government understands perfectly well how to grant waivers, incentives and concessions to multinational oil companies and businesses close to his administration.
“So why does intervention suddenly become bad economics when ordinary Nigerians are meant to benefit?”
