Tinubu and Atiku<\/p>\n

By Publisher<\/p>\n

Kindly share:<\/p>\n

Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, on Monday continued his brick back with President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Why denying Tinubu’s allegation that he is jealous, Atiku accused the president of foisting inimical economic policies on the people.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Recall that Tinubu\u2019s Spokesman, Bayo Onanuga had in a statement on Sunday, accused Atiku, who was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in last year’s election, of being jealous and proposing ‘harebrained’ policy alternatives.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0However, Atiku has countered the president in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, describing Onanuga’s statement as inelegant and insipid.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0He urged Tinubu to concentrate on governance instead of attacking the opposition.<\/div>\n
Dismissing the allegation that he is jealous, he said: \u201cAtiku, jealous of Tinubu inflicting pain on Nigerians? Hell no, wickedness is an exclusive preserve of T-Pain.\u201dThe statement further\u00a0 read: \u201cOn July 8, 2024, Tinubu announced that import duty on essential goods like food would be lifted for 150 days. But over 120 days later, the policy is yet to take off, while Nigerians continue to die daily due to increasing costs, including food inflation, which now exceeds 40%, the highest in decades.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe brazen disobedience to a government policy by Tinubu\u2019s appointees and the failure of the finance ministry to issue a gazette after over four months reflects the fatuousness, inanity and incompetence that characterizes the Tinubu administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cSadly, rather than focus on governance, they are preoccupied with verbally assaulting their opponents \u2013 Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi \u2013 while using compromised courts to foster crisis in the opposition. What a shame!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

The former vice president accused Tinubu of being unprepared for the presidency.<\/p>\n

\u201cTinubu was obviously unprepared for office. He acts first and thinks of the consequences afterwards. This was why he announced an abrupt removal of petrol subsidy without any cushions. After seeing the effect, he then hurriedly decided to push a CNG initiative, which even he and his ministers have not embraced, hence their refusal to use it,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CNG initiative has so far failed to fully kick-off because of a lack of gas infrastructure in most states. The result is that transport costs continue to soar along with prices of food.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn his mid-term expenditure framework, he projected an exchange rate of N700\/$1 in 2024 and N650\/$1 by 2025. Rather than sack his economic advisers, he continues to live in a fool\u2019s paradise, deceiving Nigerians about the FX reserve of $40bn when, in fact, the net reserves are less than 20% of that. Let the CBN release its financial statements of 2023 if he is sure of his achievements.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
