Atiku Abubakar Calls Tinubu's Claims Delusional Amid Hardship

Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President and presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), responded to President Bola Tinubu's assertion that the opposition is responsible for hunger and poverty in Nigeria, describing it as delusional. In a statement issued by Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication for the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku accused Tinubu of evading responsibility for the hardships caused by his administration.

He pointed out that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had governed Nigeria for eight years prior to Tinubu's tenure, which has now lasted three and a half years. Atiku challenged Tinubu to address the real issues affecting Nigerians, including the rising poverty rate and the government's financial decisions.

He criticized Tinubu's actions, such as commissioning unfinished infrastructure, and stated that the upcoming 2027 presidential election would serve as a referendum on Tinubu's record in office.
