Presidency failed to provide credible defence for Tinubu’s failure –Atiku

Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, on Tuesday accused the Presidency of failing to provide a credible defence for what he described as President Bola Tinubu’s failure to tackle Nigeria’s economic challenges.

Atiku insisted that he offered better policy options during the 2023 presidential campaign when compared to Tinubu’s “morbid prescriptions.”

He was reacting to Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, BayoOnanuga’s remark accusing him of carving a niche as the “opposition-in-chief” to the President and the current government.

Onanuga said Atiku took up the new role due to his failure to achieve his life-long ambition of ruling Nigeria.

Reacting, Atiku said Onanuga demonstrated ignorance of the happenings around him.

In a statement signed by his spokesman, Paul Ibe, Atiku said: “The Presidential Spokesman, BayoOnanuga, failed to provide a credible defence of Bola Tinubu’s failures in tackling the economic challenges facing the country.

“In his characteristic manner, he resorts to insults and name-calling. He demonstrates ignorance of the happenings around him – as he denies, for example, that Bola Tinubu’s policies are creating excruciating pain and causing despair.
