Atiku Accuses Tinubu of Mimicking Subsidy Model

Atiku Abubakar, the ADC Presidential candidate, accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of improperly copying his production subsidy model in response to the Federal Government's announcement of a 30-day fuel discount. Atiku made these remarks during the inauguration of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja.

He stated that Tinubu stripped away essential components of his proposal and merely offered a temporary discount of ₦50 on petrol, which he deemed deceptive. Atiku expressed concern over the rising cost of living under Tinubu's administration and criticized the government's approach over the past three and a half years.

He also called for significant electoral reforms, including the right for parties and observers to verify election results and the need for independent audits of election technology. Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, Chairman of the ADC Campaign Council, urged Nigerians to collect their Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) to ensure they can vote out the All Progressives Congress (APC) government in the 2027 elections.

David Mark, National Chairman of the ADC, encouraged campaign members to engage with all communities and address critical issues affecting Nigerians.
