What the papers say – Nigerian front pages on 04 October 2023

The PUNCH: The All Progressives Congress on Tuesday chastised the Peoples Democratic Party presidential standard bearer, Atiku Abubakar, over his quest to obtain President Bola Tinubu’s academic records from the Chicago State University. The National Publicity Director of the APC, Bala Ibrahim, attributed Atiku and the PDP’s action to what he called ‘post-election defeat disorder.’


The Guardian: Ahead of the 2024 budget presentation, President Bola Tinubu’s administration may be putting finishing touches to a plan to pivot the government from a culture of oversized fiscal deficit and embrace fiscal consolidation practice as a necessary option for addressing legacy macroeconomic challenges.


The Nation: The Federal Government will spend not less than N2 trillion directly on the implementation of the Monday’s pact with the organised labour. After a four-hour meeting, an agreement was reached to cushion the petrol subsidy removal pains on federal workers and other categories of Nigerians.


Daily Trust: After back and forth, the Chicago State University (CSU) released the academic records of President Bola Tinubu to his political opponent, Atiku Abubakar, on Monday. Atiku, the presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 25 election, had requested the documents to back his allegation of forgery of CSU certificate against Tinubu.
