Atiku Abubakar Critiques Tinubu's Leadership on Fuel and Security

Atiku Abubakar, through Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, criticized President Bola Tinubu for his approach to fuel subsidy removal, stating that Tinubu's boast about making fuel more expensive reflects a lack of empathy for struggling families. Atiku likened Tinubu to a "wicked king" and urged him to provide concrete solutions to make life affordable for Nigerians.

He proposed limited support for verified petroleum products refined in Nigeria, emphasizing that imported fuel should not receive assistance. Atiku also addressed the issue of security, stating that Tinubu's failure to protect citizens from attacks and kidnappings is an indictment of his leadership.

He highlighted the plight of police officers, noting that a retired Assistant Superintendent receives only ₦29,000 a month, questioning how Tinubu can expect courage from officers who struggle to provide for their families.
