I Will Restore Subsidy To Cut Your Costs, Atiku Tells Nigerians by iwaeda(op): 7:10pm On Aug 25

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has clarified that his proposed petroleum intervention is not a return to “Nigeria’s discredited import-subsidy regime”, but targeted support for domestic production designed to reduce the cost of living.

In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said the clarification became necessary following comments credited to one of his aides that an Atiku administration would “restore fuel subsidy and remove it later.”

Shaibu described the comments as “an unauthorised, imprecise and materially misleading characterisation of Atiku’s policy position,” stressing that no spokesperson has the latitude to redefine, embellish or improvise on a policy already clearly articulated by the candidate.

“For avoidance of the doubt, policy belongs to the candidate, not the spokesperson. Our responsibility as communicators is to explain Atiku’s position accurately, not create formulations capable of confusing Nigerians or handing opponents convenient talking points.

“Atiku has never proposed restoring the import-subsidy regime and subsequently removing it on some predetermined date. That is not his policy and should not be attributed to him.

“What Atiku proposes is a targeted, capped, transparently budgeted and independently audited subsidy that supports domestic refining and production, with measurable exit conditions built in from day one.

“There is no arbitrary withdrawal date. As domestic refining expands, supply stabilises, competition deepens, and the market becomes capable of delivering affordable prices without government support. The intervention progressively becomes unnecessary.

“You do not remove scaffolding because the calendar says so. You remove it when the building can stand securely on its own.”

Shaibu said Nigerians must not be distracted by arguments over terminology.

“The real question is simple: Why has everything become so expensive, and what will Atiku do to make life affordable again?

“Tinubu transferred the shock of his reforms to Nigerian families. Atiku will reduce production and transportation costs, strengthen domestic refining, and restore purchasing power.

“The choice is not removal of subsidy versus restoration of subsidy. It is Expensive Nigeria versus Affordable Nigeria.”

Atiku is not the one talking, it's Phrank Shaibu. Atiku is not ready. You had opportunity to represent yourself at the NBA conference, you sent Amaechi. Continue your big man politics, you don't know times have changed.

SixSeven:
The major problem that I think will work against Atiku and Tinubu is not speaking to the people themsleves. It will affect them.

They are still using the old playbook in a time where the youth have access to the internet and social media and want to hear from you directly. Whether it is Onanuga, Bwala, Kenneth or Momodu, one thing you will observe is that they draw attention away from their principal and start talking about things that will make people hate their principal. I posted it once here before how Trump talks more to Americans than our President, the Trump that is fighting war o. I just finished watching Chude's interview and heard them mentioning Modi of India. Now I will quote the comment I made in March and you can see that it's true. You can never be too busy for your people, talk down at them or behave like you are a god.

Regarding the spokesperson, I have written it before. There is no need repeating myself.

Lol, he's not doing anything different from what Tinubu did in 2012 when he protested against subsidy removal.

Politicians are just like an average man trying to court a lady. They'll say or do anything just to woo the electorates. But once elected, it's OYO.
