Amaechi Supports Atiku's Production Subsidy Plan for ADC

On September 30, Rotimi Amaechi, the former governor of Rivers State, former Minister of Transportation, and Vice Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), defended Atiku Abubakar's plan to reintroduce production subsidy during the ADC National Women’s League Inauguration in Abuja. Amaechi clarified that this subsidy would support local refiners by supplying crude at reduced costs, aiming to lower fuel prices and consequently reduce transport and food costs.

He illustrated the negative effects of fuel subsidy removal on everyday expenses and urged women leaders to influence their husbands for electoral success. Amaechi announced plans to mobilize support in Delta, Edo, and Cross River states, emphasizing the importance of women's involvement in the electoral process.

He criticized the current administration under President Bola Tinubu for worsening economic conditions, citing increases in fuel prices and food importation, and highlighted the rise in out-of-school children and illiteracy since he left office.
