ADC Challenges Tinubu To Account For N15.8Trn Subsidy Windfall
African Democratic Congress (ADC) has challenged the director-general of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign, Senator Abdul’aziz Yari, to explain what Nigerians had gained from the trillions of naira generated from petrol subsidy removal before dismissing the promises of relief by Atiku Abubakar as a lie.
ADC, in a statement signed by its spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, said Yari’s comments were particularly significant because he was not speaking merely as an APC senator, but as the man charged with persuading Nigerians to give Tinubu another four years.
Separately, the presidential candidate of ADC, Atiku Abubakar, described the continued rise in petrol prices, despite lower crude prices, as further evidence that Tinubu’s economic experiment had become a conveyor belt transferring pain from government policy directly into Nigerian homes.
The opposition party has also criticised Tinubu’s three-week leave, with the presidency justifying the president’s vacation, saying he needed to refuel after months of intense engagement with state matters.
