Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar cites a survey by SBM Intelligence indicating that 67.4% of Nigerians want petrol fuel subsidy restored. He links the finding to growing public pressure over fuel costs and the knock-on effects on transport fares and everyday expenses.
Both outlets frame the issue as a politically salient one ahead of future elections, noting that fuel prices are becoming a major concern for households, workers, and businesses. The outlets emphasize the same survey result and its interpretation as evidence of widespread demand for relief from high fuel and related costs. While the reporting credits Atiku with bringing the survey into the political debate, neither source provides details beyond the headline figure on the survey’s methodology or broader breakdown of responses.
