The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has urged President Bola Tinubu to adopt his proposed intervention to reduce the price of petrol in Nigeria.
Atiku made the call on Friday during a world press conference at his residence in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
The former Vice President also renewed his call for the reversal of the fuel subsidy removal, saying the move would help alleviate the hardship faced by Nigerians.
He urged Tinubu to use the remaining eight months of his administration to ease the economic burden on households, workers and businesses.
“That is why I am calling on Tinubu to act now. He has approximately eight months remaining in office.
“Tinubu should not be ashamed to do what is necessary to lower the price of petrol simply because Atiku Abubakar proposed a government intervention.
“He should just take the idea, rename it if he wishes, and even take the credit. What matters to me is that Nigerians pay less.
“A sensible idea does not become a bad idea because it came from your opponent. If responsible intervention can lower prices, intervene. If changing course can help Nigerians’ families change course for God’s sake.
“Nigerians do not need another elaborate palliative economy. Do not make life unbearable,” Atiku said.
