Amaechi Promises Cost Reductions Under Atiku's Leadership

Rotimi Amaechi, the former Minister of Transportation and vice-presidential candidate of the ADC, claimed that if Atiku Abubakar is elected, his government will lower the costs of transportation, fuel, and food within one year. During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi expressed concern over the hardships Nigerians face due to the removal of fuel and electricity subsidies by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration.

He stated that the cost of living has surged, with transportation and food prices skyrocketing. Amaechi accused President Tinubu of failing to fulfill promises regarding power supply and highlighted the significant increase in his electricity bill from N500,000 to N4 million.

He asserted that the removal of petrol subsidy has exacerbated the cost of living crisis. Amaechi mentioned that Abubakar plans to restore subsidies and introduce a production subsidy.

He also noted a rise in out-of-school children from 12 million to 20 million under Tinubu's leadership and emphasized worsening insecurity affecting farmers.
