Atiku Abubakar has raised strong concerns about President Tinubu’s approach to Nigeria’s economic challenges, stating that the administration’s “erratic” and “untested” policies have led to the country’s current economic crisis.

According to Atiku, the government’s lack of a comprehensive economic plan is a key reason Nigeria has seen a sharp economic downturn, adding that their policies are more like “trial-and-error experiments” than a roadmap for real recovery.

In contrast, Atiku highlighted his own proposed Recovery Plan, which he described as carefully crafted and inclusive, shaped with significant input from Nigerians across various sectors.

Atiku criticized Tinubu’s policies, noting that just after he proposed his alternative solutions, the administration’s response was “a national prayer” led by the First Lady and the National Security Adviser.

While he values prayer, Atiku stressed that scripture also emphasizes the need for hard work and practical action, implying that prayer alone cannot solve Nigeria’s economic woes.

Atiku recalled Nigeria’s economic achievements during past administrations, particularly under the Obasanjo government, where he served as Vice President.

Nigeria’s economy grew at an average of 6.59% and peaked at 15% in 2002.

He pointed out that subsequent administrations maintained steady growth, with Yar’Adua’s government achieving a 7.98% growth rate and Jonathan’s administration at 4.8%.

In comparison, he claims that under Tinubu’s “so-called tested” administration, GDP growth has slumped to 2.8%, a drop he views as evidence of poorly executed policies.

Expressing concern about Tinubu’s approach to taxation, Atiku argued that heavy taxation would only increase the burden on Nigerians.

He referenced countries like the UAE, Qatar, and Monaco, where low or zero-income tax policies have fostered strong economies, suggesting that Nigeria could follow a similar path to promote growth.

Atiku also addressed the 2023 election, saying he believes the election was “stolen” from the Nigerian people.

He stated that those who voted in the election knew he did not lose and that Tinubu’s presidency represented a misstep for the country.

In closing, he said Tinubu’s approach was based on a mere “Tea-plan,” which he believes has led to “T-pain” for Nigerians.

Presidential hopeful Peter Obi has said being Nigeria’s president is not about luxury but about sacrifice, compassion, and using resources wisely. Speaking on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, Obi criticised President Bola Tinubu’s government, saying it shows little concern for the struggles of ordinary Nigerians.

“If I become president, I will not waste public money. You won’t hear me saying ‘buy a new jet’,” Obi said, slamming the idea of spending huge sums on luxuries while basic needs suffer. “I don’t need a private jet to function. How can you spend N150 billion on jets when most of our primary healthcare centres are not working?” he asked.

Obi reflected on his time as governor of Anambra State, saying he led by example with a simple lifestyle. “As governor, I used a Peugeot 406 for four years. I didn’t ride in bulletproof cars. People want to kill you when you do wrong. But when you do right, you live without fear. If your citizens are suffering or dying, you as president should also be ready to face anything; even death,” he added.

2027 presidential hopeful aspirant, Peter Obi, has questioned the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), saying the situation doesn’t make sense to him. Obi explained that he would push for a political solution to Kanu’s case and other similar issues across Nigeria rather than allowing them to drag on.

Speaking during an interview on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, Obi said it was hard to understand why Kanu was still in detention over allegations like insulting those in power. When asked if he supports a political approach to the IPOB leader’s case, Obi responded, “Why is he still being held? It doesn’t make sense to me.

“Some say he used vulgar words… I haven’t seen it myself. But even if he did, it doesn’t affect me. If I’m president and people call me a thief or an idiot — as they already do — it doesn’t bother me. My job is to ensure people can feed themselves.”

He also stressed that the same approach would apply to similar situations across the country. “If there’s a bandit somewhere in the North East, I’ll go there and meet him. That’s how you create dialogue and say, enough is enough. After that, action will follow,” Obi added.

The singer took to social media to express his thoughts on the move and questioned who the party is truly fighting for.

“Are they fighting for you, or fighting to sit where their enemies used to sit? Are they shouting ‘enough is enough’ because they’ve changed… or because they’re no longer the ones benefitting?”

“We don’t just need new names. We need new values, new visions, and people with the guts to live by them. 2027 is not about revenge. It’s about rescue.”
