Prince Adewole Adebayo, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate, says he will reduce the price of petrol to N200 per litre if elected president in 2027. He makes the pledge in an interview with Nigeria’s News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), where he also mentions plans to cut the cost of other petroleum-related products.
Both outlets report that Adebayo links the petrol-price target to a timeline. Daily Post Nigeria says the pricing regime would be implemented within 12 months of taking office, while Vanguard reports the broader promise of reducing petrol, cooking gas, and aviation fuel (Jet A1) to N200 per litre. The sources do not provide details on how the government would achieve the reductions or what assumptions underlie the pricing plan.
Overall, the coverage focuses on Adebayo’s campaign pledge and the stated price point and products affected, without detailing policy measures, funding, or regulatory steps.
