Onanuga Labels Atiku and Amaechi Unfit for Office

Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, publicly criticized Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and his running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, labeling them unfit for office. This statement came in response to Amaechi's allegation that the economic policies of the Tinubu administration led to the death of his mother due to rising living costs and high drug prices.

Onanuga condemned Amaechi's claim as an extreme political maneuver, stating that such a person cannot be trusted to lead the country, especially alongside someone with a history of corruption and money-laundering cases. Additionally, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, criticized Amaechi for allegedly exploiting his mother's death for political sympathy.

Onanuga also dismissed the ADC's electoral prospects, recalling that Amaechi had previously described Abubakar as unelectable.
