Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, has criticized the 30-day petrol discount introduced by the federal government led by President Bola Tinubu. Obi described the policy as reactive and insufficient to address the economic hardship faced by Nigerians. In a post on X, he argued that the temporary discount substitutes political optics for sound policy. He also faulted the removal of petrol subsidy, naira floating, and tax reforms, stating they were implemented without adequate assessment of their impact.
