Atiku Abubakar Questions Tinubu's Plans Amid Rising Costs

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Vice President, asserted that Nigerians will judge President Bola Tinubu's plans based on their lived experiences. This statement was made in response to former Katsina State governor Aminu Bello Masari, who claimed that he has not seen a president with better plans than Tinubu in the last 40 years.

Atiku, through his media aide Paul Ibe, emphasized that the critical issue is not the existence of plans but their impact on the safety and well-being of Nigerians. He pointed out the current challenges, including record-high petrol prices, soaring food and energy costs, worsening insecurity, and declining household purchasing power.

Atiku questioned when the benefits of Tinubu's plans would manifest, especially as the President was in Paris while President Macron attended the UN General Assembly in New York.
