At a campaign rally in Dutse, capital of Jigawa State, President Bola Tinubu called opposition candidates who promise to restore fuel subsidies if elected in 2027 liars, according to Daily Post. He named Atiku Abubakar, the ADC candidate, and Peter Obi, the NDC candidate.
Tinubu asked how these commitments would be financed and how roads would be repaired and maintained. He also announced that money recovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) would be allocated to NELFUND, the public student loan fund for Nigerian students.
Tinubu announced the end of fuel subsidies upon his inauguration in 2023, and reaffirmed it on 6 November, as reported by Daily Post.
