Atiku emphasized that Tinubu should focus on governance rather than attacking the opposition while replying to the earlier claim of the presidency that the former vice president was jealous of Tinubu over his comment that his presidency was stolen.
In a statement sent to TimesNow.com.ng and signed by his spokesperson, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku highlighted Tinubu’s alleged unpreparedness for office, pointing to the abrupt removal of petrol subsidies and the lack of gas infrastructure. He also criticized Tinubu’s economic projections, questioning the claimed FX reserve of $40 billion. Atiku urged the Central Bank to release its 2023 financial statements to verify these claims.
The former vice president expressed concern about the emergence of a new terror organization, Lakurawa, and the incessant grid collapses in the north. He accused Tinubu of playing politics with security by appointing kinsmen to key positions. Atiku emphasized his own non-bigoted stance and lack of involvement in alleged drug trafficking.
Atiku advised Tinubu to prioritize improving Nigerians’ lives, as the President has just two years left in office. He dismissed claims of jealousy, stating that no compassionate leader would envy Tinubu’s harmful policies.
