Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, has sharply criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, accusing him of promoting unrealistic economic ideas and engaging in petty political manoeuvring.

Onanuga’s comments come during an exchange of words between the presidency and Atiku, following his proposals for addressing Nigeria’s economic challenges.

In recent weeks, Atiku has offered his thoughts on how to improve the country’s economy, including his claims that he cannot feel envious of President Tinubu, who he believes is responsible for causing significant hardship among Nigerians. The former vice president’s remarks, however, have drawn the ire of Onanuga, who argues that Atiku’s critiques are nothing more than ill-conceived and impractical ideas.

Onanuga pointed out that the Nigerian people rejected Atiku and his approach to governance during the 2023 presidential election, underscoring the fact that he failed to convince the electorate of his ability to lead the country.

In a statement released on Sunday, Onanuga further stated that Atiku’s economic suggestions lacked any substance, offering no realistic alternatives to the reforms Tinubu’s administration is pursuing.

The Special Adviser went on to remind Atiku that the current government inherited a deeply mismanaged economy, plagued by decades of poor policy decisions, including a massive subsidy burden that far outstrips Nigeria’s crude oil earnings.

He emphasized that while Atiku criticizes the president, his economic proposals fail to present a credible solution to the nation’s challenges.

Onanuga called for Atiku to take responsibility for his past mistakes and focus on restoring his reputation as a statesman, rather than continuing to peddle what he described as “fantastical” and “counterproductive” ideas.

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.

Since taking office two years ago, President Tinubu has been clear that improving security and investing in the nation’s people are top priorities. He recognizes that without safety, the economy and daily life cannot thrive. His administration has worked hard to strengthen collaboration among security agencies, increase intelligence operations, and support the welfare of the military and police. According to him, it is thanks to these efforts, some regions once troubled by bandits have seen peace return, allowing farmers to get back to work and roads to become safer for travelers.

Beyond security, the government is focused on building a brighter future through education, healthcare, and youth empowerment. Investments in schools and student loans aim to give more Nigerians access to quality education. Health programs have upgraded thousands of primary health centers, introduced cancer treatment centers, and expanded health insurance coverage. The administration has also launched initiatives to create jobs, support small businesses, and encourage innovation—especially among young people eager to shape Nigeria’s tomorrow.

President Tinubu believes these steps are creating a foundation for lasting growth and opportunity. While challenges remain, the commitment to protecting citizens and developing human capital signals a hopeful path forward for Nigeria’s future.
