The National Patriots Movement of Nigeria has responded to an October 8, 2026 statement from the Atiku Media Office regarding President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's proposed 30-day petrol discount. The group said public debate should be anchored in economic facts and the welfare of Nigerians rather than political interpretations. It described Atiku Abubakar's suggestion that the temporary discount represents a restoration of petrol subsidy as misleading, arguing it confuses a government-funded subsidy with a commercial decision by a petroleum retailer to forgo its profit margin. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has announced the discount.
