Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticized President Tinubu's administration for attributing the issues of insecurity and economic hardship to Nigerians. He argues that it is unjust to place the blame on the citizens for these challenges.

Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has criticised President Bola Tinubu's economic policies, describing the recent flight of foreign portfolio investments from Nigeria as a "vote of no confidence" in the administration's economic management. According to Leadership newspaper, Atiku made the remarks in a statement issued on Tuesday by his Senior Special Assistant, blaming the government's handling of the economy for the investor exodus.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday reaffirmed the Federal Government's commitment to converting the gains of its economic reforms, which he said have brought stability, into investments, increased production and job opportunities for Nigerians. He made the remarks while speaking at the 19th Annual Banking and Finance Conference organised by the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), according to Tribune Online.

President Tinubu stated that his government is laying the foundation for Nigeria's prosperity, emphasizing that no community will be neglected during his administration. He expressed a commitment to building what he described as the 'nation of our dreams.'

Former Akwa Ibom Governor Emmanuel endorsed President Tinubu, stating that the country's economic challenges necessitate unity. His comments were relayed by his Special Assistant on Media, Barr. Stephen Abia, emphasizing that the reforms implemented are beginning to show positive results.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said his proposal to reinstate Nigeria's fuel subsidy has compelled President Bola Tinubu's All Progressives Congress government to debate the effects of its removal on citizens. According to Atiku, speaking in response to Kayode Fayemi, the government has been forced to confront an issue it had sought to avoid, as hardship from the subsidy's 2023 removal continues to fuel political debate.
