Nana Kazaure, the spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaign in the ADC, has stated that she decided to switch her support from Peter Obi to Atiku after hearing Atiku promise to restore fuel subsidy and make life more affordable for Nigerians if elected president

Kazaure explained that she challenged his position by pointing out that, because he was a wealthy man, he could still afford to travel by private jet even if petrol prices rose to 5,000 naira per litre. However, she said ordinary Nigerians were struggling and dying daily because of the hardship.
