Atiku mocked Yari’s grammar, saying his comments demonstrated the ruling party’s attitude towards economic hardship.

“The campaign’s director-general claims that hungry Nigerians are just lazy. He gave that statement in such bad grammar that it could wake the dead. This government doesn’t even think Nigerians are hungry.”

The former vice-president accused Tinubu’s administration of worsening poverty while dismissing citizens’ suffering.

“How can you fix an issue you won’t even admit exists? You made poverty, then mock the people who are going through it.”

Atiku promised increased investment in social welfare and pledged to address alleged mismanagement of funds meant for vulnerable Nigerians.

He also defended his Affordable Life campaign against APC criticism ahead of the 2027 election.
