2027: ‘Hypocrisy and deceit’ – Presidency Fires back at Atiku over plans to restore fuel subsidy
The Presidency has criticised the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, over his promise to consider restoring fuel subsidy if elected president in 2027.
Atiku had said in a recent interview that he would consider bringing back the subsidy removed by President Bola Tinubu, if given the mandate to lead the country.
Reacting to the statement, presidential spokesperson Sunday Dare described Atiku’s position as “hypocrisy and deceit.”
In a statement, Dare accused the former vice president of attempting to mislead Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general elections by promising to reverse the Federal Government’s fuel subsidy removal policy.
“Atiku Abubakar: Your pronouncement that you will bring back fuel subsidy is drenched in hypocrisy and deceit. It is an unpardonable manipulation of the public psyche, designed to hoodwink unsuspecting Nigerians into voting for you.
“The ongoing recovery across various sectors of our national life annoys you, and will be halted if this thinking of yours is implemented. By the Grace of God, it will not happen and all good men of conscience must rise up against you,” Dare said.
