Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar criticises President Bola Tinubu’s administration after the pump price of petrol reportedly rises to about ₦1,470 per litre. In statements carried by multiple outlets, Atiku argues the increase intensifies the cost-of-living burden on Nigerians and calls for explanations for how fuel pricing is determined.
Atiku also demands a probe into public revenue and allocation figures, including those linked to FAAC (Federation Accounts Allocation Committee). He questions what happens to subsidy savings and oil revenues, citing FAAC-related data and comparing fuel prices with crude oil quotations referenced by his remarks.
Across the reports, outlets present Atiku’s comments as a political challenge to the government’s handling of public funds and fuel-subsidy policy. The articles mainly focus on Atiku’s allegations and calls for investigations, with no matching government response or independent confirmation of the underlying figures included in the excerpts.
