Atiku's stance on fuel subsidy creates pressure for Tinubu's government, says ADC chieftain

Okai noted that Atiku's intervention has reignited debate over the government's decision to remove the subsidy and raised questions about the management of savings from the policy. In a statement from Abuja, Okai emphasized that the controversy centers on accountability, transparency, and the policy's impact on Nigerians. He challenged the Federal Government to provide a comprehensive account of financial gains from subsidy removal, including the amount saved, how funds were deployed, and specific projects financed.

Okai argued that Nigerians should see tangible benefits amid rising fuel prices and living costs, and that the debate should prioritize economic realities and citizen welfare over partisan interests. He urged the Tinubu administration to publish a transparent account of subsidy savings and their utilization, insisting on accountability before further sacrifices are demanded from Nigerians.
