Former Vice President of Nigeria, Abubakar Atiku, has expressed deep concerns over the handling of the fuel subsidy removal by the current administration, blaming it for the ongoing economic crisis in the country.

In a strongly worded statement, Atiku criticized what he called the “haphazard and disingenuous approach” of the government, which he believes is exacerbating the country’s already dire economic situation.

According to Atiku, the mismanagement of fuel subsidy policies has contributed significantly to the inflation rate that is steadily climbing, with no signs of relief in sight.

He explained that this continuous rise in inflation is further eroding the purchasing power of Nigerians, leaving many citizens struggling to meet their basic needs.

Atiku stressed that this hardship is threatening the material well-being of millions across the nation, particularly those in the lower-income brackets.

He expressed particular concern over the apparent lack of action from key figures in the administration, pointing out that T-pain, a government official, has remained silent on the matter.

Atiku noted that while the public suffers from the economic strain, those in power seem undisturbed by the ongoing challenges, which he described as a disturbing trend in leadership.

The former Vice President’s remarks come at a time when the country is grappling with a host of economic challenges, largely fueled by the global oil market’s volatility and the internal decisions on fuel subsidy.

The removal of subsidies has led to a sharp increase in the cost of petrol, which in turn has had a cascading effect on the cost of goods and services, leaving many Nigerians in a precarious financial situation.

This criticism is not the first time Atiku has voiced his dissatisfaction with the government’s handling of economic policies.

Known for being an outspoken figure on national issues, Atiku has consistently called for reforms and better governance to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians.

Many see his recent statements as a direct indictment of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, which has been under pressure to address the economic fallout since it came into office.

Experts have weighed in on Atiku’s statements, with some agreeing that the fuel subsidy removal was rushed and poorly implemented.

They argue that while the removal was necessary for the long-term health of the economy, the government’s failure to provide adequate palliative measures to cushion the blow has worsened the situation for average Nigerians.

Atiku, who has previously run for the office of president, remains a central figure in Nigeria’s political landscape.

Pastor William Kumuyi, the General Overseer of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has opened up about how the death of his wife, Abiodun, in 2009 pushed him into what he describes as a mission of revenge against the devil. Speaking during the Global Workers’ Conference, Kumuyi revealed that he received the heartbreaking news just after preaching at Faith Clinic.

He believes the devil struck while he was away from home. Since then, he said his response has been to take the gospel even further, using his ministry to fight back. In his words, the next chapter of his calling has been all about “revenge.”

Since her passing, Kumuyi has intensified his efforts, traveling across nearly every local government in Nigeria, reaching all African nations, and visiting continents around the world. He remarried in 2010, but says his wife’s death marked a turning point in how far and wide he spreads the gospel.

Two years into his administration, President Tinubu highlights key achievements in Nigeria’s economy and social sectors. He reminds Nigerians of the tough choices made early on, like removing fuel subsidies and fixing foreign exchange policies, to stop the country from slipping into crisis. These bold moves have started to pay off.

Inflation is easing, staple food prices are dropping, and the oil sector is seeing renewed growth with billions invested. The government has improved revenue collection, narrowed the fiscal deficit, and built up reserves to protect Nigeria from shocks.

Tax reforms are helping small businesses and protecting low-income families by cutting VAT on essentials like food and education. The administration is also supporting new industries through targeted incentives and making trade easier and fairer.

On the social front, health services are expanding with thousands of primary health centers being upgraded and new cancer treatment centers opening. Free and subsidized medical care is reaching more Nigerians, while health insurance coverage grows steadily.

The president also points to progress in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure development as the foundation for long-term growth. Despite challenges, these efforts show that Nigeria is moving in the right direction, building a stronger economy and better future for all its people.
