The 2027 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has warned Nigerians against being deceived by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s promise to restore fuel subsidy if elected president in 2027.
Naija News reports that Atiku recently pledged to reinstate the fuel subsidy, arguing that its removal by President Bola Tinubu’s administration has failed to deliver meaningful benefits to Nigerians.
Reacting in a statement shared on his 𝕏 handle on Friday, Sowore dismissed Atiku’s position, insisting that the AAC has remained consistent in its opposition to the removal of the subsidy.
Sowore said, “Don’t let Atiku Abubakar and his clowning group deceive you about fuel subsidy or pretend that they are responsible for the panic now gripping the failed Bola Tinubu regime.
“It was our firm and uncompromising stance at the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt that sent the Tinubu regime scampering.”
He added that his party had consistently maintained its position on the issue, accusing establishment politicians of changing their positions for political convenience.
“We have been consistent on this issue, while these establishment politicians keep shifting positions according to political convenience and foreign capitalist control.
“They should not be allowed to rewrite history or suddenly present themselves as the opposition,” Sowore stated.
