Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has said that he would restore the fuel subsidy removed by the President Bola Tinubu administration if elected president in 2027.
Sowore disclosed this in a post shared on his official X handle on Monday.
Sowore further said his administration would implement a minimum wage of N500,000 per month for Nigerian workers if elected.
“Attempts to water down our proposal for a N500,000 monthly living wage with funny statistics will not change our position.
“Under our government, Nigerian workers will earn a minimum wage of at least N500,000 monthly. We will also restore the petrol subsidy.
“Workers deserve wages they can actually live on,” the AAC presidential candidate wrote.
JESNews correspondent reports that there has been a national discussion over the removal of the fuel subsidy, with some presidential candidates, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC) flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, promising to restore it if elected.
Atiku has proposed restoring a form of subsidy targeted at domestic refiners.
