The fuel subsidy debate in Nigeria has gained momentum ahead of the 2027 elections. The Finance Minister, Taiwo Oyedele, declared that N15.8 trillion was saved between June 2023 and December 2025 from the removal of fuel subsidy or PMS price increase. However, this figure is disputed by various opposition candidates.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar demanded proof of tangible benefits for citizens from the so-called fuel subsidy savings. He promised to restore petrol subsidy if elected president in 2027 by selling crude oil to local refineries at preferential prices.

The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, maintained his support for the removal of petrol subsidy. He plans to remove the fuel subsidy in an organized manner and invest the subsidy savings appropriately for the benefits of the masses.
