NDC accuses Tinubu of bringing back petrol subsidy through backdoor

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of secretly attempting to reintroduce petrol subsidies through a 30-day discount at NNPC stations, mainly benefiting public transporters. The party described this move as 'tokenism and deceit,' claiming it does not address the hardships caused by subsidy removal. They also criticized the limited distribution of discounted petrol, which could lead to congestion and consumer risks, and condemned the government's economic management, urging Nigerians to vote for Peter Obi in 2027.
