Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, has criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's economic policies. Atiku's spokesperson, Phrank Shaibu, released a statement on Tuesday outlining his concerns. According to Atiku, the majority of Nigerians have faced extreme poverty over the last three years, despite the administration's reported macroeconomic improvements.
Atiku argued that a $1 trillion economy cannot be built by making people poorer. He emphasized that prosperous nations are not built this way. His comments were made as Nigeria's inflation rate eased to 15.39 percent.
Further details on Atiku's statement and his criticisms of the Tinubu administration's economic policies are available.
