On the question of subsidy, my position has not changed and will not change: I will restore it! A nation as blessed as ours has no business abandoning its citizens to hardship. Nigeria is rich enough to look after her own.
I believe the wealth of a nation is not measured by how much government collects, but by how much the money in the pockets of its people can buy.
I want wages to have value again. I want farmers to move produce without transport swallowing their profits. I want families to fill their baskets without emptying their pockets. I want businesses to produce, employ and prosper.
That is why I will restore targeted subsidy and put purchasing power back in the hands of Nigerians.
When fuel rises, transport rises. When transport rises, food rises. When food rises, families suffer.
I will break that wretched chain that has defined our national life in the nearly four years of Tinubu’s presidency.
I will support Nigerian production, reduce energy costs and restore purchasing power. I will not restore the import racket; I will restore relief.
I restated this commitment when I received the Osun State leadership of the ADC in Abuja on Tuesday.
I will make the naira in your pocket worth more, make daily living affordable again, and secure our people.
Economic security. Physical security. A better life for every Nigerian.
That is the Nigeria I intend to build. -AA

If you understand basic economics, you know a subsidy can be used as a temporary stimulus when an economy is weak and households are under severe pressure. You don’t stimulate forever. As the economy strengthens, you gradually withdraw the support. Stimulus is a tool, not a permanent economic model.
The news of the passing of celebrated Nollywood actor, Alhaji Taiwo Hassan, is deeply saddening.
It is particularly painful that only days after the public became aware of his battle with cancer, we are confronted with the heartbreaking news of his demise.
Alhaji Taiwo Hassan was more than a gifted actor. Through a remarkable career, he brought laughter into countless homes, told stories that reflected our society and used his talent not only to entertain but also to educate and inspire social rebirth. His passing leaves a painful void in Nigeria’s creative community and in the hearts of the millions who cherished his work.
I join his family, colleagues and admirers in Nigeria and across the world in mourning this profound loss.
May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings, comfort his loved ones and grant him eternal rest in Al-Jannah Firdaus. Ameen. -AA
@HonShield They won’t study it cos the idea to bring back subsidy is not coming from their messiah. They will either criticize it. I told some ppl that Atiku knows and understands how to run the Economy. His idea about the refinery makes a lot of sense and the current administration knows
Shame on all Nigerian media outlets that are avoiding the news of bringing back fuel subsidy by Atiku Abubakar if elected 2027.
Good thing is we are at social media times that you cannot dictate to what people hear, we can as well send this good news you are avoiding out.
@General_Somto He has done the job he’s sent to do which is to praise Obi and make him leave the coalition which to me stands a chance against BAT now he’s going to support his candidate in peace knowing the opposition is already divided. ‘Em ozhuor
