Sowore Warns Nigerians Against Atiku Over Fuel Subsidy

The 2027 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has warned Nigerians against allowing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to mislead them on the issue of fuel subsidy.

Sowore issued the warning in a post on his verified X handle on Friday, claiming that the AAC had consistently opposed the removal of fuel subsidy.

He accused Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, of changing his position on the issue and attempting to take advantage of growing public dissatisfaction over the economic impact of subsidy removal.

Sowore said, “Don’t let Atiku Abubakar and his clowning group deceive you about fuel subsidy or pretend that they are responsible for the panic now gripping the failed Bola Tinubu regime.”

He further claimed that his party’s position had contributed to pressure on the Federal Government.

“It was our firm and uncompromising stance at the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt that sent the Tinubu regime scampering,” he said.

Sowore maintained that the AAC had remained consistent in its opposition to subsidy removal, while accusing established political parties of changing their positions based on political interests.

“We have been consistent on this issue, while these establishment politicians keep shifting positions according to political convenience and foreign capitalist control,” he stated.
