Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress (AAC) 2027 presidential candidate, urges Nigerians not to trust former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s claims about fuel subsidy ahead of the 2027 elections. Sowore makes the warning in a post on his verified X account, saying Atiku is trying to “deceive” voters regarding subsidy policy.
In the accounts provided, Sowore says the AAC is the only party that has kept a consistent position on the subsidy issue. He argues that Atiku has shifted his stance and is now attempting to align with public sentiment after previously changing positions. Both sources note that Atiku has pledged to reinstate the fuel subsidy if elected.
Sowore also attributes current economic and policy outcomes to President Bola Tinubu’s administration, asserting that removing fuel subsidy has not produced benefits for the country. While he references past advocacy, the articles mainly frame the difference as competing political commitments: Atiku’s promise of reinstatement versus Sowore’s criticism of Atiku’s credibility and consistency.
