ADC Warns Tinubu Over New Fuel Tax, Calls for Policy Reversal

The African Democrat Congress (ADC) has strongly criticized Bola Tinubu's approval of a 15% import duty on petrol and diesel, warning that it will exacerbate the economic challenges faced by Nigerians. The ADC accuses Tinubu's administration of insensitivity and misguidance, highlighting the potential for increased fuel prices and hardships for citizens.

The party advocates for policies that prioritize people's welfare and support for local refineries. The statement also questions the justification for the new levy and calls for a reversal to prevent further economic distress.

Tinubu is urged to focus on genuine efforts towards energy security and local refinery strengthening.
