ADC's Abdullahi Says Tinubu's Fuel Discount Addresses Concerns
Bolaji Abdullahi, the National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), commented on the Tinubu administration's announcement of a 30-day fuel price discount at Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) filling stations. He stated that this action is a response to the concerns of Nigerians and the ADC's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
In a discussion on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Abdullahi emphasized the need to support local refineries by selling crude oil directly to them in naira, rather than exporting it. Atiku Abubakar criticized the fuel price discount as a panic-driven publicity stunt, labeling it a desperate and temporary measure that cannot rectify the significant financial burden caused by high fuel costs.
Abdullahi reiterated that the government is responding to Atiku's previous statements regarding subsidy removal and local refinery support.
