Atiku Abubakar Claims Lagos Transporters Plan Protest
Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), alleged that transporters in Lagos State are organizing a protest. He made this statement during a press conference at his residence in Abuja.
Atiku suggested that the planned protest would provide President Bola Tinubu with a pretext to temporarily reinstate the fuel subsidy as the 2027 elections approach, only to remove it again if re-elected. He cautioned Nigerians against falling for what he termed Tinubu's trick.
Atiku referenced President Tinubu's announcement regarding the removal of the fuel subsidy during his inaugural speech on May 29, 2023, noting that petrol prices, which were previously below ₦200 per litre, have surged to ₦1,430 per litre following the subsidy removal.
