Malami Advocates Fuel Subsidy Restoration Amid Hardship
Abubakar Malami, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Kebbi State, has expressed his support for the restoration of fuel subsidy as a necessary measure to combat worsening economic hardship in the Northwest region of Nigeria. He made this statement on Tuesday in Abuja while signing the Northwest ADC Governorship Candidates’ Compact for the 2027–2031 period, alongside other ADC governorship candidates from the seven Northwest states.
Malami stated that the removal of the fuel subsidy has intensified pressure on households and contributed to the rising cost of living. The ADC candidates collectively urged President Bola Tinubu to reverse the subsidy removal, arguing that the anticipated benefits of this policy have not improved the living conditions for ordinary Nigerians.
They linked the economic challenges to increasing hunger and other difficulties faced by residents in the region.
