Nigeria: Atiku Accuses APC Presidential Campaign of Obscuring President's Unfulfilled Promises
[This Day] President candidate of African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council of seeking to obscure President Bola Tinubu's unfulfilled electricity promise with a long recital of laws, committees, bonds, and projects.
African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate Atiku Abubakar has criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for obscuring President Bola Tinubu's unfulfilled electricity promise with a barrage of legal and project details. ADC-PCC Director of Strategic Communication, Phrank Shaibu, conveyed this accusation via a statement.
ADC-PCC also denounced sustained attacks on democracy, freedom of association, and political participation under Tinubu's administration, but affirmed these assaults will fail and democracy will endure. Atiku bemoaned the ongoing struggle for electricity in families and businesses, despite promises of steady power and the end to estimated billing.
The campaign council criticized the government for planning to end electricity subsidies in 2027, while still expecting an increase in bills. ADC-PCC also accused Tinubu's administration of exacerbating power issues through unjust energy taxes, and of not building new power infrastructure despite a multi-trillion naira bond program to settle legacy debts.
