SSA Communications & Intelligence to Former Vice President & ADC Presidential Candidate H.E. Atiku Abubakar. Group CEO & Board Chair of The Global College Group
“Earlier, one of my Press Aides contradicted me in a policy statement as far as subsidy is concerned. I want to repeat categorically that when I said I would return to Subsidy, I will! Nigeria is rich enough to look after the welfare of its citizens. Let it be clearly stated that he was not speaking on my own authority!” - Atiku Abubakar.
ATIKU’S NEW PETROLEUM SUBSIDY MODEL
Target Production | Cap the Cost | Track Every Barrel
Core Highlights of the Atiku Economic Recovery Plan (AERP)
1. Shift to Production-Based Subsidy: Replaces import subsidies and middlemen by subsidising domestic refining directly; subsidy strictly "follows the barrel."
2. Guaranteed Consumer Benefits: Subsidised crude is tied to transparent pricing formulas; refinery owners cannot pocket margins without lowering pump prices.
3. Fiscal Ceilings & Open Budgeting: Operates under a predetermined, legally appropriated annual fiscal cap passed by the National Assembly to eliminate open-ended liabilities.
4. Strict Anti-Arbitrage & Tracking: End-to-end reconciliation of crude allocation, refinery intake, yields, and domestic deliveries to prevent product diversion and phantom claims.
5. Level Playing Field: Rules-based eligibility for both public and private domestic refineries based strictly on verified capacity and compliance.
6. Statutory Sunset Clause:* Designed to phase out progressively as local refining capacity, efficiency, and market competition grow.
7. *Demand for Financial Accountability: Demands transparent reconciliation of approximately ₦30 trillion in Federation revenue entries and clarity on post-2023 energy security expenses.
"The principle is simple! The subsidy will follow the barrel. Public support must produce a measurable public benefit."
Sir, your assertion that you are accountable solely to the constituents of Clacton is neither politically, morally, nor commonsensically tenable.
As a public figure and leader of a national political party whose policies, pronouncements and parliamentary conduct have material consequences for citizens across Great Britain, you can not reasonably circumscribe the ambit of your accountability to one constituency. The office you occupy is funded by the public purse, and the platform from which you speak is derived from a mandate conferred under the democratic institutions of the United Kingdom.
To that extent, you bear a fiduciary and ethical obligation to account for every penny that accrues to you not through private labour but by virtue of public office. Accountability, in a representative democracy, is not merely transactional between an MP and his electorate; it is also constitutional, moral and reputational, owed to the wider polity whose interests are affected by the exercise of your influence.
To suggest otherwise is to misunderstand the nature of public service itself.
Today was one of those moments in the life of a nation that we pause to recognise.
I was honoured to witness Commissioner Sonia Boyce take the oath of office as Commissioner of Police. Her appointment rests on years of service, discipline, competence and commitment to Barbados.
My Government stands ready to support Commissioner Boyce and the Barbados Police Service as we continue strengthening public safety, confidence and trust.
I also thank outgoing Commissioner Richard Boyce for his steady service to our country.
May God bless Commissioner Boyce, the Barbados Police Service, and Barbados.
This coming week, we will be engaging with a new group of Members of Congress to discuss former Nigerian Vice President @atiku's campaign for the presidency of Nigeria and the ongoing attempts by President Bola Tinubu (@officialABAT) and his allies to rig the upcoming election.
The time has come for the Nigerian people to take back their country from the #Tinubu regime, which has turned the Giant of Africa into a nation where millions of citizens struggle to afford even basic necessities, including food. Hope is returning to Nigeria

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ADC ON THE UNVEILING OF THE AFRICAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS'S NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS
17 November 2025
Distinguished compatriots, esteemed leaders, and devoted members of the African Democratic Congress,
Today marks a momentous chapter in our collective journey—a day that shall be etched in the annals of our party’s history with pride and purpose. The unveiling of our National Headquarters in the heart of Abuja is not merely a structural inauguration; it is a symbolic affirmation of our unwavering commitment to democratic excellence, national unity, and visionary leadership.
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the African Democratic Congress for this remarkable achievement. It is a testament to the resilience, foresight, and collaborative spirit that define our movement.
Permit me to pay homage to the towering figures whose legacies continue to illuminate our path: His Excellency David Mark, a statesman of profound wisdom; His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, whose transformative ideals and philanthropy inspire generations; His Excellency Rauf Aregbesola, a beacon of progressive governance; His Excellency Nasir El-Rufai, a reformer of enduring impact; His Excellency Peter Obi, whose integrity and clarity of vision resonate deeply; His Excellency Musa Elayo, and His Excellency Solomon Dalung, whose contributions remain invaluable to our democratic evolution in the diaspora.
To the great leaders of our party—our National Executives, State Chairmen, and Excos down to the ward level—I salute your tireless dedication and grassroots mobilisation. Your efforts are the lifeblood of our movement.
A special tribute must be paid to the Chairman of my beloved Delta State, the land of my ancestors, Honourable Dr Eng. Okolie, whose phenomenal leadership culminated in the unveiling of our Delta State headquarters just two days ago. Your commitment to excellence and strategic foresight is magnificent.
I also wish to acknowledge Honourable Nwosu, whose visionary embrace of the coalition laid the foundation for a safe haven—a sanctuary of ideas, unity, and purpose.
To all members of the African Democratic Congress, I urge you to embody patience, perseverance, and principled dedication. Let us champion the party’s victory not merely in rhetoric but through resolute action—by working assiduously in our respective local governments and polling units, galvanising support, and nurturing trust within our communities.
Let this headquarters stand as a citadel of hope, a centre of strategy, and a home for every dreamer who believes in the promise of a better Nigeria.
Together, let us *arise with conviction*, *shine with purpose,* and march forward with the unyielding belief that our tomorrow shall be brighter, stronger, and united.
Thank you, and may the African Democratic Congress continue to flourish.

We promised to stop the use of asylum hotels - and we will.
However, if we fail to do this in an ordered way, we risk losing control of the system and having to open additional hotels.
That is why the government will appeal The High Court's decision on the Bell Hotel in Epping.

*The Doomification of Standing On Tinubu's Mandate: A Lamentable Dirge*
In the rarefied realm of Nigerian politics, a melodious dirge has been penned, aptly titled "On your Mandate we shall stand." This sonorous lamentation, courtesy of the erstwhile vigilant Senate, now seemingly enthralled by the whims of a singular potentate, bespeaks a profound malaise afflicting the land. The once-vaunted checks and balances have given way to an eerie acquiescence, as the Senate now functions as a sycophantic appendage to the Tinubu administration, thereby facilitating a nascent one-party state, whilst standiing on Tinubu's Mandate.
The refrain of this dirge echoes the soaring costs of living, a burden that weighs heavily upon the populace. The prices of staple commodities have skyrocketed, rendering the average Nigerian's existence a veritable tightrope walk. A bag of rice, once a humble staple, now costs a small fortune, a staggering ₦95,000 for a 50kg bag, a price that has increased by leaps and bounds since Tinubu's ascension to office. The cost of fuel, too, has become a Sisyphean task to afford, as Nigerians struggle to make ends meet. The Naira, once a proud currency, now languishes in value, a testament to the economic woes that plague the nation.
The Doomification of Tinubu's Mandate has also brought about a precipitous decline in the purchasing power of Nigerians. The cost of transportation has become prohibitively expensive, with fares increasing by the day. A litre of petrol, once a relatively affordable commodity, now costs an arm and a leg, a price that has skyrocketed since Tinubu's administration took the reins. The nation's economy seems to be in a state of perpetual crisis, with no respite in sight.
Furthermore, the Tinubu administration's seeming ineptitude in addressing the nation's economic woes has led to a situation where Nigerians are forced to make impossible choices. Do they prioritise feeding their families or paying their rent? Do they opt for expensive healthcare or forego medical treatment altogether? The Doomification of Tinubu's Mandate has brought about a Hobson's choice, where Nigerians are forced to choose between equally unpalatable options.
The Senate's complicity in this state of affairs is a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked power. By abandoning their oversight functions, they have allowed the executive to run amok, unaccountable to anyone or anything. The result is a governance structure that is as dysfunctional as it is unresponsive. The Nigerian people are left to fend for themselves, struggling to survive in a system that seems designed to crush them.
In this lamentable dirge, the Nigerian people are the chorus, singing a haunting melody of despair and desperation. Their voices echo the streets, a cacophony of discontent and frustration. The Doomification of Tinubu's Mandate has become a rallying cry, a call to action that demands a response from those in power. Will they heed the call, or will they continue to preside over the nation's descent into chaos?
As the curtain falls on this tragic drama, one thing is certain, the Nigerian people will not be silenced. They will continue to sing their song of resistance, a powerful rebuke to the Tinubu administration's policies and a testament to their determination to hold their leaders accountable. The Doomification of Standing on Tinubu's Mandate may be a dirge, but it is also a battle cry, a call to action that will resonate for generations to come.

Just like ongoing show of shame at the empty Nigerian booth in far away Japan, two years into this administration, we are probably waiting for an official inauguration or preferably an “unveiling” of Renewed Hope before Nigerians can experience good governance. -AA

*From Nigeria to ONEgeria: 50kg Bag of Rice Stands on Tinubu's Mandate*
The grand metamorphosis from Nigeria to ONEgeria bespeaks a paradigmatic shift in the trajectory of this erstwhile promising nation, precipitating a calamitous descent into the abyss of economic mismanagement. The erstwhile "Ni-(9)" has been unceremoniously elided, supplanted by the ignominious "ONEgeria," a sobriquet that serves as a lugubrious harbinger of the travails that have beset this hapless nation.
The statistics are nothing short of staggering. A 50kg bag of rice, once a mere ₦3,000 in 1999, has ballooned to a staggering ₦95,000 in 2025, representing a monumental 3,066% increase. This astronomical rise is a testament to the egregious mismanagement of the economy, wherein the value of the Naira has been rendered nugatory.
*The Collapse of Nigeria:*
- *1999-2007* (Vice President Atiku Abubakar's era): Nigeria, a nation endowed with promise and potential, wherein the seeds of prosperity were sown.
- *2007-2023:* Nigeria, a nation ineluctably succumbing to the vicissitudes of decline, as the shoots of prosperity began to wither.
- *2023-2025*(President Tinubu's era): Nigeria, a nation teetering on the precipice of collapse, as the very foundations of its economy began to crumble.
- *2025:* Nigeria ceases to exist, reborn as ONEgeria, a nation in a state of utter chaos and pandemonium.
*When 50kg Rice Was Not Standing on A Mandate:*
- *1999:* 50kg bag of rice = ₦3,000^0
- *2007:* 50kg bag of rice = ₦5,000^1 (66.7% increase)
*When 50kg Rice Stands on Tinubu's Mandate*
- *2023:* 50kg bag of rice = ₦25,000^2 (400% increase from 2007)
- *2025:* 50kg bag of rice = ₦95,000^3 (280% increase from 2023)
The Tinubu administration's masterstroke, it would seem, has been the transformation of Nigeria into ONEgeria, a polity wherein the price of rice will continue to skyrocket, and the average citizen will be left to fend for themselves, bereft of the most basic necessities.
Projected Prices As Rice Continously Stands on Tinubu's Mandate:
- *2026:* ₦147,250 (55% increase from 2025)
- *2027:* ₦150,000 (58% increase from 2025)
- *2031:* ₦300,000 (215% increase from 2025)
If President Tinubu secured a second term, his administration would last until 2031. Based on this projection, the price of rice could continue to skyrocket, exacerbate economic instability and increase poverty.
Potential Consequences:
- Economic Instability:* Rising costs of living could lead to economic instability and social unrest.
- *Increased Poverty: Average citizens may struggle to afford basic necessities, pushing more Nigerians below the poverty line.
ONEgeria's Future:
The future appears bleak for ONEgeria, with the citizenry condemned to cry themselves to sleep, lamenting the precipitous decline of their nation from a position of promise to one of ignominy. The Tinubu administration, however, will doubtless continue to guide them, inexorably, into the abyss.
Thus, if nothing is done to salvage the economy, ONEgeria is fast on its way to becoming ZEROgeria, a dystopian reality where the value of the currency is rendered utterly meaningless, and the citizens are left to barter for the basic necessities of life. The prospect is dire, and the consequences of inaction will be catastrophic.
The writing is on the wall: unless drastic measures are taken to revitalise the economy, ONEgeria's descent into ZEROgeria will be a fait accompli. The people of ONEgeria are left to ponder the question: what will be the price of a 50kg bag of rice in ZEROgeria and on Tinubu's mandate? A dystopian world devoid of hope and promise.

The Unbridled Surge: The Palm Oil's Plight In A Tale of Two Eras
In the annals of Nigerian economic history, few commodities have borne witness to the vicissitudes of policy and governance as starkly as palm oil. Once a staple of stability and affordability, palm oil prices have skyrocketed in recent years, leaving consumers grappling with the consequences of economic mismanagement. A comparative analysis of palm oil prices during the vice presidency of Atiku Abubakar (1999-2007) and the presidency of Bola Tinubu (2023-present) reveals a remarkable disparity between the two eras.
*Intra-Era Comparison: Atiku's Era (1999-2007)*
- Price range for 25 litres: ₦1,875 - ₦2,375
- Percentage increase: 26.67% (₦500 increase)
*Intra-Era Comparison: Tinubu's Era (2023-2025)*
- 2023 price for 25 litres: ₦20,000
- 2025 price for 25 litres: ₦55,000
- Percentage increase: 175% (₦35,000 increase)
*Inter-Era Comparison*
- Atiku's era: 26.67% increase over 8 years
- Tinubu's era (projected 4-year forecast):
- Assuming a constant rate of increase, the price would rise to approximately ₦110,000 in 4 years.
- Percentage increase: 100% (₦55,000 to ₦110,000)
- Tinubu's era (projected 8-year forecast):
- Assuming a constant rate of increase, the price would rise to approximately ₦220,000 in 8 years.
- Percentage increase: 300% (₦55,000 to ₦220,000)
*Comparative Price Index*
The comparative price index using the average price of Atiku's era (₦2,125) as the base.
- Atiku's Era (1999-2007): 100% (base index, ₦2,125)
- Tinubu's Era (2023-2025):
- Lower end comparison: 2,932.8% (index increase, ₦55,000 / ₦1,875)
- Upper end comparison: 2,315.8% (index increase, ₦55,000 / ₦2,375)
*Analysis*
The analysis reveals a stark contrast between the two eras. Atiku's era was characterised by a relatively stable and low price range for palm oil, with a moderate percentage increase over 8 years. In contrast, Tinubu's era has witnessed a sharp increase in prices, with a significant percentage increase in just 2 years. If this trend continues, the projected 4-year and 8-year forecasts paint a grim picture for consumers.
*Bad Governance and Leadership Incompetence*
The current state of affairs can be attributed to bad governance and leadership incompetence, particularly with regards to borrowing, corruption, and lack of focus. The removal of fuel subsidies and drastic changes in fiscal and monetary policies have contributed to the economic instability and rising prices.
*Conclusion*
In sum, the era of Atiku was marked by relative stability and low prices, whereas the current era of President Tinubu is characterised by sharp price increases and economic uncertainty. The projected forecasts for the next 4 and 8 years are alarming, highlighting the need for effective governance and leadership to mitigate the effects of inflation and ensure economic stability.
