Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused President Bola Tinubu of favouring oil companies through tax incentives while Nigerians continue to face rising petrol prices.
Atiku criticised the Federal Government’s economic policies, arguing that the benefits of the incentives granted to oil companies were not being reflected in the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
The former vice president said the rising cost of petrol had placed additional pressure on households and businesses already struggling with economic hardship.
He questioned the rationale behind granting tax incentives to oil companies at a time when Nigerians were facing increased living costs.
Atiku urged the Tinubu administration to review its policies and prioritise measures that would reduce the economic burden on citizens.
He maintained that government policies should promote transparency, fairness and the broader interests of Nigerians rather than favouring specific sectors or companies.
The former vice president’s comments come amid heightened political exchanges between the opposition and the Tinubu administration ahead of the 2027 general elections.
