The Presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Party, Peter Obi, has disagreed with the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, over his proposed return of fuel subsidy if elected in 2027.
Obi also accused the federal government of mismanaging the savings from the proceeds of fuel susidy removal.
The ex-governor of Anambra State spoke on Monday at the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, while reacting to the debate over whether fuel subsidy should be restored as proposed by Atiku.
Atiku, who campaigned for the removal of fuel subsidy during the 2023 presidential election, has said he would restore the policy if elected president in 2027.
