Vice-Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has vowed that his party will restore fuel subsidy in its own way if elected, insisting that Nigerians deserve affordable fuel prices. Kwankwaso, who spoke in an exclusive interview with Arise News on Tuesday, faulted the manner in which President Bola Ahmed Tinubu removed subsidy.

He recalled that during the campaigns, all major contenders had promised to remove subsidy, but Tinubu's day one implementation without safeguards worsened the situation.
