The National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, says fuel subsidy reversal talks can’t be reduced to election season promises .
This is as he condemned former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar’s proposal to reverse the removal of petrol subsidy if elected president in 2027.
Yilwatda, in a statement on Monday in Abuja, described Atiku’s proposal as a deeply troubling policy u-turn that raised serious questions about the opposition’s preparedness to govern Nigeria.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the statement was issued by Yilwatda’s Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Mr Abimbola Tooki.
He said Nigerians deserved more than election-season declarations, adding that any proposal to restore a costly subsidy regime must be subjected to rigorous scrutiny.
