The All Progressives Congress, APC, said former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar has continued to gaslight Nigerians, inciting outrage
and enabling street protests against the administration’s reform policy plan.
This is even as the party claimed that Atiku is restless
since his electoral loss in 2023.
This was stated by Felix Morka, National Publicity Secretary
of APC.
The statement comes after former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar stated that Nigerians were inundating him with inquiries on solutions
to Nigeria’s current challenges.
Atiku said President Bola Tinubu’s government should be
humble enough to borrow from his ideas to solve the country’s challenges in the
interest of the Nigerian people.
However, APC described Atiku’s policy prescription as a
disappointing rehash of the same old disastrous policy approaches that brought
Nigeria to its knees.
According to the party, Atiku’s policy starkly failed to
acknowledge complex contradictions, past mistakes and the extreme urgency of
the moment.
“Since his electoral loss in 2023, presidential candidate of
People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has been restless.
“Atiku’s policy prescription was a disappointing rehash of
more of the same old disastrous policy approaches that brought our country to
its knees, to begin with, under the PDP’s long rule.
“Atiku’s policy offering starkly failed to acknowledge
complex contradictions, past mistakes and the extreme urgency of the moment.
“His gradualist approach to subsidy removal and foreign
exchange reforms have been tested before and failed to produce any significant
outcomes. Specifically, his preferred managed-floating system unfairly favors
opportunists and cronies who exploit and fleece the system for personal gain to
the extreme detriment of the Nigerian people.
“But Atiku has continued to gaslight Nigerians, inciting
outrage and enabling street protests against the administration’s reform policy
plan that is designed to rebuild the country’s economy that he helped to
destroy as a two-term Vice President under PDP’s wasteful years.
“President Tinubu remains committed to implementing bold,
forward-looking and effective policies that address Nigeria’s complex
challenges at their roots. President Tinubu’s reform agenda, tough as it may
be, is required to build a strong, resilient, vibrant, prosperous and
sustainable economy for present and future generations of Nigerians.
“Atiku’s relentless and indiscriminate condemnation of the
administration’s policies for selfish partisan political mileage is hypocrisy
taken too far. Nigerians expect and deserve more statesmanship from a former
Vice President of the Federal Republic,” the statement partly read.
