Niger State: We Must Keep the Cell Clean, Safe And Untouched - Disu
We have been able to move around and have observed the unrest, with some people wanting to take the law into their own hands. Fortunately, the governor has imposed a curfew, and the town is now calm. At the same time, we are using this opportunity to speak to citizens. This is a very unfortunate moment, and we appeal to everyone to remain peaceful. We assure them that nothing will be kept from them. We will not hide anything and will remain transparent throughout the process.

You cannot break a man’s leg, hand him crutches three years later and demand applause because he can now move around. 😂
That is essentially Tinubu’s CNG miracle .
Yes, CNG can make a converted bus cheaper to run. But the driver still buys expensive tyres, spare parts and food — and the passenger’s empty pocket has no conversion kit.
After the subsidy-removal shock travelled from the filling station to the motor park, the farm, the market and finally the Nigerian kitchen, 120,000 converted vehicles cannot be presented as salvation for over 200 million people.
The problem is no longer simply what powers the bus.
It is whether Nigerians can afford to board it.
@atiku understands the difference: Nigeria needs a broader attack on the cost of living — cheaper energy, domestic production, lower logistics costs and measurable relief across the economic chain.
The crutches may help the man walk. They do not mean his leg was never broken.

Atiku Abubakar is doing something every serious presidential candidate should be prepared to do: put his economic alternatives before Nigerians and defend them publicly.
In Part 2 of his English-language interview, Atiku again explains why he believes fuel subsidy intervention should be restored if Nigerians elect him President in 2027, while laying out his broader thinking on rebuilding the economy.
Whether one agrees with him or not, the contrast in philosophy is becoming unmistakable.
Tinubu’s approach has largely been: remove the subsidy, absorb the shock and wait for reforms to produce results.
Atiku is proposing another path: reform without abandoning the citizen.
His argument brings the Nigerian household back into the economic equation.
Because petrol does not stop at the filling station.
It enters transportation.
It enters food prices.
It enters farming.
It enters manufacturing and logistics.
Eventually, it enters almost everything a struggling family pays for.
That is why Atiku’s subsidy proposition is politically powerful. He is challenging Nigerians to ask whether economic reform must necessarily mean transferring enormous adjustment costs onto people whose incomes have not risen proportionately.
And beyond subsidy, the bigger message is emerging:
Atiku wants 2027 to become a contest of economic ideas.
Not slogans.
Not tribal arithmetic.
Not promises about which region inherits power afterwards.
Ideas against ideas.
Records against records.
Alternative policies against existing policies.
Nigeria has experimented with Tinubu’s economic philosophy.
By 2027, Nigerians will have the democratic right to examine their wallets, businesses and living standards and decide whether they want four more years of it.
Atiku is putting another economic option on the table.
Let the debate begin.
