Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has knocked the
administration of President Bola Tinubu for its economic policies, saying it
has recorded no achievement since its inception.
Atiku, who stated this in a statement on his official X
handle, said Tinubu’s administration has no achievements to stand on and no
credible record to defend, adding that its only strategy is chaos and division.
“Because that’s the last refuge of the incompetent. And make
no mistake— an incompetent captain does not only wreck his ship; he endangers
the lives of everyone on board,” he wrote.
The 2023 PDP presidential candidate’s outburst comes after recent high profile defections from the opposition party.
DAILY POST reports that the Delta State Governor, Sheriff
Oborevwori, and the immediate past governor of the state, Ifeanyi Okowa, on
Wednesday left the Peoples Democratic Party for the ruling All Progressives
Congress.
In the same vein, a member of the House of Representatives,
Oluwole Oke, resigned from the PDP and joined the APC on the same day.
While commenting on the next presidential election, Atiku
said results would not be determined by political alliances, but by common
goals.
“Let us be clear: the coming political battle is not APC
versus PDP, or LP versus APC. It is Nigerians versus an administration that has
plunged the nation into untold suffering. The economy is in freefall. Inflation
is choking the masses. Jobs are vanishing. Youth restiveness is surging to
terrifying levels. Nigerians are not just tired — they are angry, and
rightfully so.
“This moment is about collective survival. The real enemy is
not one another — it is the Tinubu administration’s abysmal failure. We must
reject every attempt to distract us with ethnic, regional, or religious
sentiments. These are tools of manipulation, designed to divide and conquer,
used by those with nothing else to offer,” he added.
The former Vice-President pointed out that the need to speak
out on the state of the economy was engineered by calls from concerned
Nigerians.
