Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed support for the removal of fuel subsidy by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, disagreeing with Atiku Abubakar's recent pledge to restore it. The subsidy removal, announced on May 29, 2023, has led to sharp increases in commodity prices and transportation fares, drawing mixed reactions. Atiku, who previously did not oppose the removal, now promises to bring it back if elected in 2027. Obi's stance adds to the ongoing debate over the policy's impact on Nigerians.
