Amaechi Claims Fuel Import Corruption Can End Under Obi

Rotimi Amaechi, serving as the vice presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), asserted that corruption within Nigeria's fuel importation sector could be addressed swiftly if the president is determined to eliminate it. During an interview with AIT, Amaechi discussed the implications of restoring fuel subsidies and the potential impact on the Dangote Refinery, modular refineries, and the NNPCL under an Atiku administration.

He argued that a production subsidy could attract more investors to establish refineries. Amaechi stated, “It takes one day to fight corruption,” emphasizing that the integrity of the leadership is crucial.

He suggested that if Obi were to become president and firmly declared that anyone involved in fuel import corruption would be jailed, it would deter theft in the sector, as people would recognize the seriousness of the president's stance.
