Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has challenged President Bola Tinubu to adopt his proposal for government intervention to reduce petrol prices. Atiku said Nigerians have endured the consequences of petrol subsidy removal for over three years, with the impact felt from filling stations to household budgets. He urged Tinubu to use the remaining eight months of his administration to alleviate the cost-of-living burden rather than rely on palliatives. Atiku made the remarks in an address on fuel prices, palliatives, and the cost of living, noting that concerns from workers, marketers, manufacturers, and ordinary Nigerians highlight the unsustainable impact of high energy costs.
