Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has promised to restore the subsidy, while President Bola Tinubu argues that bringing it back would be economically reckless. Labour Party's Peter Obi supports the removal but criticizes the management of its proceeds. Other presidential contenders have proposed various alternatives, ranging from targeted interventions to rejecting the current policy's assumptions.
