October 1: Why can’t you cure her – Atiku slams Tinubu for calling Nigeria cancer patient

In a world press conference held in Abuja on Thursday, Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), criticized President Bola Tinubu for labeling Nigeria as a cancer patient. Atiku questioned why Tinubu had not cured Nigeria during his three-year tenure as president. During his Independence Day broadcast, Tinubu compared Nigeria to a patient with cancer, stating that while the government had more money, the people were suffering more.

Atiku argued that if the government was genuinely working to improve the situation, Nigerians should be able to afford food, medicine, and daily necessities. He reminded Tinubu that he was not the first to govern Nigeria, suggesting that if the country was indeed as sick as claimed, the people should turn to the places where they make their daily choices.

Atiku emphasized that a patient who cannot afford to live is not proof that the treatment is working and cannot be treated with indifference.
