Atiku inciting Nigerians against Tinubu – APC

The All Progressives Congress, APC, said former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has continued to gaslight Nigerians, inciting outrage and enabling street protests against the administration’s reform policy plan.

This is even as the party claimed that Atiku is restless since his electoral loss in 2023.

This was stated by Felix Morka, National Publicity Secretary of APC.

The statement comes after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar stated that Nigerians were inundating him with inquiries on solutions to Nigeria’s current challenges.

Atiku said President Bola Tinubu’s government should be humble enough to borrow from his ideas to solve the country’s challenges in the interest of the Nigerian people.

However, APC described Atiku’s policy prescription as a disappointing rehash of the same old disastrous policy approaches that brought Nigeria to its knees.

According to the party, Atiku’s policy starkly failed to acknowledge complex contradictions, past mistakes and the extreme urgency of the moment.

“Since his electoral loss in 2023, presidential candidate of People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has been restless.

“Atiku’s policy prescription was a disappointing rehash of more of the same old disastrous policy approaches that brought our country to its knees, to begin with, under the PDP’s long rule.

“Atiku’s policy offering starkly failed to acknowledge complex contradictions, past mistakes and the extreme urgency of the moment.

“His gradualist approach to subsidy removal and foreign exchange reforms have been tested before and failed to produce any significant outcomes. Specifically, his preferred managed-floating system unfairly favors opportunists and cronies who exploit and fleece the system for personal gain to the extreme detriment of the Nigerian people.

“But Atiku has continued to gaslight Nigerians, inciting outrage and enabling street protests against the administration’s reform policy plan that is designed to rebuild the country’s economy that he helped to destroy as a two-term Vice President under PDP’s wasteful years.

“President Tinubu remains committed to implementing bold, forward-looking and effective policies that address Nigeria’s complex challenges at their roots. President Tinubu’s reform agenda, tough as it may be, is required to build a strong, resilient, vibrant, prosperous and sustainable economy for present and future generations of Nigerians.

“Atiku’s relentless and indiscriminate condemnation of the administration’s policies for selfish partisan political mileage is hypocrisy taken too far. Nigerians expect and deserve more statesmanship from a former Vice President of the Federal Republic,” the statement partly read.
