What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Nigeria Democratic Congress accused the administration of attempting to reintroduce petrol subsidy through a 30-day discount on petrol sold at NNPC stations, describing the measure as "tokenism and deceit". The party criticized the government over the wider economic situation, claiming that subsidy removal had led to job losses and business closures. NDC subsequently called on Nigerians to vote for Peter Obi and other NDC candidates in the 2027 election.
