Rowland Critiques Atiku's Subsidy Promise, Backs Tinubu
Odih Rowland, the former Director-General of the Atiku Youth Wing and current Director-General of The Bridge for Renewed Hope, expressed skepticism regarding former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's promise to restore fuel subsidy if elected president in 2027. Rowland described the pledge as unrealistic and urged Nigerians to scrutinize Atiku's political history before accepting his campaign promises.
He emphasized that President Bola Tinubu has shown commitment to economic transformation, particularly through a recent fuel discount initiative aimed at alleviating citizens' economic challenges. Rowland's comments reflect a broader political discourse on fuel prices and government intervention in the petroleum sector ahead of the 2027 elections.
He called on Nigerians to support Tinubu's administration, arguing that a second term would allow the president to continue his economic agenda. Rowland's previous experience with Atiku informed his doubts about the feasibility of the former vice president's promises, urging a critical evaluation of political proposals.
