Shehu Sani backs Peter Obi's firm fuel subsidy stance for 2027 election
Shehu Sani, former Kaduna Central Senator, posted on X on Wednesday, September 22, 2026, that Peter Obi remains consistent on fuel subsidy removal, refusing to alter his stance to win popular support or promise the impossible. He said Obi refuses to "buy the throne with fake currency".
This comment comes amid renewed debate among opposition politicians over the future of fuel subsidy ahead of the 2027 presidential election, with Obi maintaining that the subsidy should stay removed while advocating measures to cushion its impact on Nigerians.
Knowing Obi's steadfast position helps voters assess his credibility and policy consistency. If you value subsidy removal paired with cushioning measures, his stance aligns with your preferences; if you favor reinstating the subsidy, you may look elsewhere. As parties shape their 2027 platforms, this clarity on Obi’s view informs your decision.
