Atiku’s Subsidy U-Turns in One Week Spark Fresh Debate, Presidency Says Confusion Is on Full Display
The Presidency has reacted to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s shifting comments on the fuel subsidy issue, saying his position within just one week has exposed inconsistency and confusion.
According to the Presidency, Atiku’s changing stance appears to raise more questions than answers, especially at a time when Nigerians are already dealing with the real-life impact of subsidy removal. The back-and-forth, they argue, only adds more heat to an already sensitive national conversation.
The issue of fuel subsidy remains one of the most controversial topics in the country, with many citizens still feeling the pressure of rising transport fares, food prices, and the overall cost of living. While some believe the policy was necessary, others insist the government has not done enough to soften its impact on ordinary Nigerians.
