Presidency Attacks Atiku Over Criticism of the Economy

The Presidency last night lampooned former Vice President and Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the February 25, 2023 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, over his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The Presidency said that the former Vice President has assumed the position of opposition-in-chief to President Tinubu and his government.

It also said that Atiku’s claim that the government’s policies have created intense cost of living pressures is not grounded on facts, claiming that recent comparative cost of living indices showed that Nigerians still enjoy the lowest cost of living in Africa.

These were contained in a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.

The Presidency said while President Tinubu and his able team are working very hard to make our country better and ensure the economy is stronger and more competitive, Atiku Abubakar and his cohorts may continue to belly ache
