Shettima Critiques Atiku's Petrol Subsidy Proposal at Summit
At the 32nd Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja, Kashim Shettima criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's proposal to restore the petrol subsidy if elected president in 2027. Shettima described this proposal as a regressive move for political convenience, stating that it would take Nigeria backwards.
He questioned Atiku's qualifications, noting that he was trained in sanitation at the Kano School of Hygiene and suggesting that he lacks the skill set to govern a modern economy. Shettima emphasized the importance of informed decision-making by Nigerians regarding their leadership.
He defended President Bola Tinubu's decision to remove the petrol subsidy, asserting that it was a difficult but necessary choice based on economic realities.
