Atiku Abubakar Critiques Tinubu's Economic Promises

Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), criticized President Bola Tinubu's economic policies during a state-of-the-nation address at the ADC headquarters in Abuja. He dismissed Tinubu's assertion that Nigeria has entered an "age of prosperity," arguing that it is disconnected from the realities faced by many citizens struggling with high prices for food, transportation, and essentials.

Atiku pointed out that while Tinubu claimed the "emergency treatment is over," families cannot simply wait for future improvements as they are currently experiencing hunger and financial strain. He challenged the President's statements regarding inflation and economic growth, stating that a slower rate of price increases does not alleviate the hardships already endured by households.

Atiku emphasized the urgent need for immediate relief for Nigerians, who are facing higher transport fares and job insecurity.
