The Presidency has accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of becoming the “opposition-in-chief” to President Bola Tinubu and his government.
According to Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information & Strategy, Atiku has taken on this role following his failure to achieve his lifelong ambition of becoming Nigeria’s President.
Onanuga criticized Atiku for offering uninformed comments on the economy and other public concerns.
Onanuga’s statement came in response to Atiku’s recent remarks about the state of the economy and the efforts of the Tinubu administration to improve it.
Atiku has been vocal in his criticism of the government’s economic policies, calling for better measures to address high inflation and unemployment rates.
Atiku Abubakar was the presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 elections and is reportedly considering running again in 2023.
He has been a prominent figure in Nigerian politics and served as Vice President under President Olusegun Obasanjo. The accusation from the Presidency suggests that Atiku is now using his position as a leading opposition figure to challenge the government’s policies and actions.
