Having failed to achieve his lifelong ambition of becoming the President. He is increasingly carving for himself the role of opposition-in-chief to President Tinubu and his government – Presidency slams Atiku

The Presidency has accused Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, of positioning himself as the primary opposition figure against President Bola Tinubu and his administration.

Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information & Strategy to Tinubu, asserted that Atiku assumed this role due to the inability to realize his lifelong aspiration of leading Nigeria. Onanuga, in a statement, criticized Atiku for delivering subpar and uninformed comments on the economy and other public concerns.

According to Onanuga: “Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has certainly found a new hobby to keep himself busy, having failed to achieve his lifelong ambition of becoming the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He is increasingly carving for himself the role of opposition-in-chief to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his government.

“However, we notice that the former Vice-President, just like in his political contests, is also doing a poor job of it, offering pedestrian and uninformed interventions on our economy and other matters of public concerns.

“Atiku’s latest diatribe was another uncharitable commentary on the state of the economy and the efforts of the President Bola Tinubu administration in remoulding it for sustained prosperity.”
