Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has criticized President Bola Tinubu's economic policies following the latest Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Household Expectations Survey. Atiku argues that this survey provides a "damning verdict" on Tinubu's economic approach, indicating that citizens are abandoning plans to purchase homes, cars, and basic household assets.
The CBN's data shows that willingness to buy vehicles fell to 18.7 points, while buildings and landed property were at only 19.2 points. Atiku asserts that these figures represent the reality faced by Nigerian households under Tinubu's administration. He points out that as purchasing power declines, families are forced to prioritize essential expenses such as food, transportation, electricity, and school fees, leaving little room for savings or investments.
Atiku emphasizes that this situation is unsustainable and that the government must address the deteriorating economic conditions felt by ordinary Nigerians. He urges Tinubu to abandon this "PowerPoint economics" approach and focus on creating an environment where citizens can work, earn, consume, save, and invest, ultimately improving their standard of living.
