'Blaming opposition for hunger is delusion, political amnesia' - Atiku rebukes Tinubu

The African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has strongly rebuked President Bola Tinubu for blaming the opposition for the hunger and poverty plaguing Nigerians. Atiku dismissed Tinubu's claim as a "delusional and shameless attempt to dodge responsibility" for the misery inflicted on the country by his own administration.

In a statement from Phrank Shaibu, ADC's Strategic Communication Director, Atiku likened Tinubu's remark to "political amnesia," emphasizing that Nigerians are well aware of the parties in power and the ongoing hardships. Atiku pointed out that the APC ruled Nigeria for eight years before Tinubu assumed office and has now governed for an additional three and a half years.

He stressed that Nigerians know who is responsible for the current predicament and urged Tinubu to answer for his administration's record instead of deflecting blame. Atiku also criticized Tinubu's decision to commission the unfinished Abuja to Kaduna Expressway from inside a stadium, highlighting the disconnect between the president's rhetoric and the everyday reality faced by the Nigerian people.
