Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticized President Bola Tinubu and his administration for their handling of the country’s fuel subsidy issue and broader economic challenges.
Atiku, speaking through his Media Adviser Paul Ibe, expressed deep concern over what he described as a lack of awareness and action from the current administration regarding the severe hardships faced by Nigerians.
Atiku’s critique centers on the administration’s delayed response to public outcry over rising fuel costs and economic difficulties.
He said, “There were certainly challenges before now, that’s why you were given the mandate. We know so many things were done wrong under Buhari.
“The economy went into recession twice under the last APC administration because it knows nothing about economics, nopotism , corruption were at a high.
“Whatever Buhari did wrong we are seeing a higher dimension under Tinubu. What we are worness today is Buhari pro-max. Divisions under Buhari have become craters under this government.
“How can the cost of basic food items come down when farmers can still no go back to their farms due to insecurity?
“Look at all the drama over the Dangote Refinery, this is one refinery that the last administration inspite of its failings invested $20bn tax payers money in.
We had thought by now our domestic needs will be met and exports will generate the much needed foreign exchange for our development but here we are asking questions.
“What is going on? Did this administration enter into any partnership with foreign interests to ruin this investment?
“Sadly, there is nothing in the horizon to show that this government is ready to solve our nation’s problems. “
