Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has asked President Bola Tinubu to stop blaming past administrations for Nigeria’s challenges.
In a statement issued by his senior special assistant, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said that after more than three years in office, Nigerians expect solutions, not excuses.
He criticised Tinubu’s claim that “prosperity is on the horizon” as evidence of a disconnect between the government and the realities facing Nigerians.
Atiku also faulted the president for attributing Nigeria’s difficulties to its population, arguing that countries like China turned their large populations into economic assets through strategic investments.
Key Points:
Atiku’s statement frames the 2027 election as a referendum on Tinubu’s governance record.
The opposition is capitalising on public frustration over inflation, unemployment and insecurity.
Atiku argues Tinubu cannot blame predecessors after three years in office.
The statement positions Atiku’s administration as a solution-focused alternative.
Atiku’s “hope cannot be preached to a hungry stomach” message resonates with struggling Nigerians.
Atiku’s sharp critique raises the stakes for Tinubu’s economic narrative and could shape voter sentiment as the 2027 election approaches.
