Atiku Abubakar Critiques Tinubu's Unfulfilled Transport Promise

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress, accused President Bola Tinubu of making "Yahoo Yahoo" promises to Nigerians during his speech on Nigeria's 66th Independence anniversary. Atiku referenced Tinubu's commitment to lower transportation costs effective October 1, which he claimed was unfulfilled.

He criticized Tinubu's economic policies, stating that families are struggling and that the President's assurances are insincere. Atiku remarked, “Bola, you have put the weight of Nigeria’s economy on a skateboard,” emphasizing the hardships faced by citizens.

He questioned the absence of any new cheaper transport routes as promised, sarcastically asking if Tinubu's pledge had "missed the bus." Atiku's comments reflect a broader critique of Tinubu's leadership and economic management as Nigeria marks its independence.
