Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar rejected the Federal Government's proposed 30-day petrol price discount, calling it a temporary intervention that cannot address the hardship caused by high fuel prices. In an article by Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication of the African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku said the offer comes after years of rising fuel prices and worsening cost-of-living pressures. He stated that Nigerians should not be expected to accept a one-month discount as a solution to the economic difficulties they have faced under President Bola Tinubu's administration. Atiku described the proposal as a political, election-laced subsidy package.
