The 2027 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has warned Nigerians against allowing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to deceive them about fuel subsidy.
Sowore issued the warning in a post on his verified X handle on Friday, noting that the AAC was the only party that had maintained its position against removing the subsidy.
According to him, Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, had already changed his position and was scrambling to catch up.
DAILY POST recalls that Atiku had pledged to reinstate the fuel subsidy regime if elected president of Nigeria in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
According to him, the removal of the fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu’s administration has not yielded any benefit for Nigeria.
Responding, 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.
“It was our firm and uncompromising stance at the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt that sent the Tinubu regime scampering.”
“We have been consistent on this issue, while these establishment politicians keep shifting positions according to political convenience and foreign capitalist control.
“They should not be allowed to rewrite history or suddenly present themselves as the opposition,” he tweeted.
