Atiku Abubakar cited a survey showing that 67.4 per cent of respondents support the restoration of the petrol subsidy, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction with rising living costs in Nigeria. Atiku blamed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s fuel policy for increased transportation costs and declining purchasing power. Separately, Engr. Anselm Ijebor noted that the emergence of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso as candidates would alter Nigeria’s political equation ahead of the 2027 election.
