Tinubu's Adviser Counters Atiku on Inflation Criticism
President Bola Tinubu's Economic Adviser, Tope Fasua, defended the government's economic policies in response to criticism from former Vice President Atiku Abubakar regarding inflation. Fasua countered Atiku's claims on a morning show, stating that inflation is not perpetual and accusing Atiku of politically motivated statements aimed at regaining power.
Fasua highlighted the government's efforts to stabilize the economy and reduce inflation, dismissing Atiku's remarks as lacking empirical evidence. The National Bureau of Statistics reported a slowdown in headline inflation in August 2025, although it remains high.
Fasua emphasized the need to focus on tangible achievements rather than political rhetoric.
