  "summary": "The All Progressives Congress (APC) has challenged Atiku Abubakar, the African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, to present alternative solutions to President Bola Tinubu's reforms. According to Premium Times, the ruling party said criticism of the government's policies was not enough, and Atiku should tell Nigerians how he intends to address the country's economic problems and improve living standards.\n\nFestus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has criticised Atiku for referring to President Tinubu by his first name, \"Bola\", during a press conference. Keyamo described this as \"very disrespectful and discourteous\", saying the office of the President should be accorded dignity irrespective of political differences, as reported by Punch Nigeria.\n\nKeyamo also accused Atiku of speaking from a position of personal grievance, saying his tone \"reeks of pain and bitterness in his heart\". He further pointed out that Atiku's recent claim about their ages was inconsistent with addressing Tinubu by his first name.",
