Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has questioned the federal government’s 30-day petrol discount scheme at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited retail stations, asking who will bear the cost of the reduction.
In a statement issued on Saturday by Phrank Shaibu, director of strategic communication of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential campaign council, Atiku accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of turning the discount into a political spectacle at NNPC Limited’s expense.
“Tinubu wants Nigerians to cheer for ₦66 off a litre before they ask who ordered NNPC to surrender the money,” the statement reads.
