Atiku reacts to Tinubu’s alleged support for him, says Nigeria in trouble under Buhari

Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President, has launched a fresh attack on the Federal Government, saying Nigerians are currently “jobless, hopeless.”

The former Vice President said this while reacting to insinuations that national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu was in support of his 2019 presidential ambition.



Speaking through his media aide, Paul Ibe, Abubakar stressed that he has become the issue in Nigerian politics because Nigerians have seen him as the best option in the face of the challenges they are facing.

The Waziri of Adamawa maintained that the current administration has no solutions to Nigeria’s problems except blame game.

In a chat with The Sun, Ibe said: “As such, he will be the subject of falsehoods and accusations. It comes with the territory. These conjectures are baseless and without foundation whatsoever and I will not dignify them with a further response. Nigerians are jobless; poverty and hopelessness is rife.

“Our own Nigerian Bureau of Statistics revealed that over 10 million Nigerians have lost their jobs under this administration even as unemployment currently stands at 18.8 percent. Meanwhile, the cost of everything from food, to petrol, to electricity has gone up.

“Waziri Atiku Abubakar knows how to create jobs and opportunities and his focus is to alleviate the pains of the long suffering Nigerian people who spent their Christmas at fuel stations and from all indications may spend the early part of the New Year also at fuel stations rather than with loved ones.”
