Atiku Abubakar Critiques Tinubu's Campaign Council Strategy

Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice-President, criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its revised Presidential Campaign Council, labeling it as “a crowded confession of Tinubu’s fear.” He stated that the extensive list of council members indicated a President more focused on gathering politicians than addressing the hardships faced by Nigerians. In a statement from Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku emphasized that no number of political endorsements could alleviate the suffering caused by the rising cost of living and insecurity.

He condemned the inauguration of the campaign council at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, calling it an abuse of public office. Atiku questioned the choice of venue and timing for the inauguration, suggesting that a confident leader would engage with the public openly.

He also criticized Tinubu for expanding the campaign council instead of addressing public concerns, asserting that the council could not resolve the economic difficulties faced by citizens.
