The Allied People’s Movement (APM) in Nigeria has publicly accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of continuing to pay fuel subsidies despite officially declaring their removal. This accusation stems from the recent reduction in petrol prices, which the APM finds inconsistent with a subsidy-free market. The party alleges the Tinubu government is utilizing a “back door” method to continue subsidizing fuel costs. This raises questions about the transparency of fuel pricing policies under the current administration in Nigeria. The APM’s statement challenges the government’s narrative of a fully deregulated fuel market and calls for clarification on the source of funds enabling the price reduction. The claim was published by Vanguard News, a Nigerian news outlet.
