What is your plan to make things more affordable for Nigerians?
My plan is to subsidise Nigerian production, not foreign importation. This means producing here, refining here, and creating jobs here, so that you pay less here. This is the production subsidy model I am committed to, and it is about building what Nigeria needs from within, for your benefit.

“We choose Nigerian jobs. “We choose affordability. Subsidise Nigerian production, not foreign importation. Produce here. Refine here. Create jobs here. Pay less here. “That is the Atiku production subsidy model, and no amount of propaganda from the Tinubu Presidency can change what it is.”
