Atiku Abubakar Critiques Tinubu's Campaign Focus

Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice-President, accused President Bola Tinubu of focusing on political alliances rather than the pressing economic hardships and insecurity faced by Nigerians. In a statement released by Phrank Shaibu, the director of strategic communication for the ADC presidential campaign council, Atiku referred to Tinubu's expanded campaign council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a “confession of fear.” He asserted that no amount of political figures gathered could alleviate the suffering of Nigerians, who are grappling with hunger and violence.

Atiku criticized Tinubu for prioritizing political machinery over the needs of citizens affected by rising living costs. He also condemned the inauguration of the APC campaign council at the Presidential Villa, stating that it is a misuse of public trust and an inappropriate venue for a political event.

Atiku questioned why the event was held at night behind the gates of the Presidential Villa, suggesting a lack of confidence in the administration's record.
