Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has publicly challenged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s approach to resolving Nigeria’s longstanding issues with its oil refineries. Atiku criticized Tinubu’s tendency to attribute the problems to previous governments, arguing it deflects from the need for present-day accountability. He specifically questioned how billions of dollars allocated for refinery repairs and upgrades under past administrations were spent without tangible results. Atiku asserts that focusing on past failures hinders progress and prevents effective solutions. He is calling for a thorough investigation into the past spending and a clear plan for future refinery rehabilitation. The statement underscores growing political scrutiny of the Tinubu administration's handling of the critical energy sector and demands concrete action. Atiku believes a focus on accountability is essential for revitalizing Nigeria’s refining capacity.
