“N70,000 can only buy 50 litres of fuel—you are mocking workers,” Atiku blasts Tinubu

Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), condemned President Bola Tinubu’s N70,000 transport allowance for workers. His aide Phrank Shuaibu said the sum buys only 50 litres of petrol, with fuel priced above N1,000 per litre, and does not offer meaningful relief amid inflation. Atiku said workers face soaring food prices and transport costs while their salaries lose value. He urged the federal government to introduce a living wage that reflects current economic conditions.
