Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has launched a sharp critique of President Bola Tinubu's economic policies. He specifically pointed to the removal of the fuel subsidy as a primary driver of increased hardship for citizens. Atiku argued that while the government has seen an increase in revenue, the average Nigerian is suffering more. He contends that the current reforms have failed to provide a cushion for the vulnerable population. In response, Atiku proposed a shift toward a targeted production strategy to alleviate the crisis. He believes the current approach is counterproductive to national stability. The statement highlights the growing political tension over Nigeria's current fiscal direction.
