Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said Nigerians have had enough of President Bola Tinubu’s trial-and-error policies which has plunged the nation into its present predicament.
The Ex-Vice President advised the President and his team to admit its failures and be humble enough to realize that they cannot tax Nigerians out of the current economic quagmire.
Atiku said this in a statement he signed in Abuja on Monday.
He was responding to a statement credited to the Presidency claiming that an Atiku Presidency couldn’t have plunged Nigeria into deeper economic crisis than currently being experienced.
The Turakin Adamawa said, “I have taken note of the initial responses highlighting the striking disparity between President Tinubu’s faltering economic policies and the alternatives I have proposed.
“It is exciting to witness such a vigorous debate on these critical matters, and I sincerely hope that this discourse will ultimately benefit Nigeria and its citizens.
“Like many fellow Nigerians, I firmly believe that we find ourselves in this current economic turmoil due to the Tinubu administration’s hasty ascent to power, devoid of a coherent plan.
“In stark contrast, my team not only devised a comprehensive Recovery Plan, but also welcomed significant input from Nigerians, ensuring that our approach was inclusive and well-considered.
“Isn’t it fascinating how the so-called “tested” Tinubu administration’s only policy response seems to be a national prayer led by the First Lady and the NSA? Just mere 24 hours after I proposed my alternative solutions! What a bold strategy.
“In my humble interpretation of the scriptures, prayer indeed serves as a noble path to follow. However, the sacred texts also counsel us to engage in diligent labour and hard work.
