As the debate over fuel subsidy continues to dominate Nigeria’s political discourse ahead of the 2027 general elections, Asiwaju Oladimeji has criticised former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar’s promise to take subsidy back if elected president.

Speaking during an interview with city breeze media team on political discuss,Oladimeji said the Tinubu administration had made significant efforts to reform the economy, despite the hardship currently being experienced by Nigerians.

He argued that returning to fuel subsidy would amount to reversing the gains of ongoing reforms and taking the country backward.

Oladimeji also urged Nigerians to hold political leaders accountable at all levels, particularly state governors and local government chairmen, stressing the need for government resources to translate into meaningful development at the grassroots.

He maintained that the 2027 elections should be about comparing the records, policies and ideas of political candidates rather than embracing promises that could reverse economic reforms.

The full interview, featuring Oladimeji’s views on Atiku Abubakar, fuel subsidy, the Tinubu administration, accountability and the 2027 political landscape, will be available on citybreezemedia YouTube channel by 8pm today, Friday.
