- APC’s Criticism: The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused Atiku Abubakar of rehashing old, disastrous policies that led Nigeria to its current state.
- Lack of Novel Solutions: Atiku’s policy prescriptions offer nothing new or innovative to address Nigeria’s challenges.
- Failed Gradualist Approach: Atiku’s proposed gradual removal of fuel subsidy and multiple exchange rate regimes has been tested before and failed.
- Opaque Economic Plans: Atiku’s Economic Stimulus Fund and Infrastructure Development Unit lack clarity and concrete implementation plans.
- Contrast with President Tinubu’s Agenda: APC claims President Tinubu’s administration is implementing bold, forward-looking policies to address Nigeria’s complex challenges.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has launched a scathing attack on Atiku Abubakar, accusing him of trying to deceive Nigerians with the same old policies that led the country to its current state ¹. According to the APC, Atiku’s recent policy prescriptions are a rehash of the same disastrous initiatives that brought Nigeria to its knees during the PDP’s long rule.
The APC criticized Atiku’s gradualist approach to subsidy removal and foreign exchange reforms, stating that it has been tested before and failed to produce significant outcomes. Additionally, Atiku’s proposed Economic Stimulus Fund and Infrastructure Development Unit were labeled as opaque and lacking in clarity and concrete implementation plans.
In contrast, the APC highlighted President Tinubu’s administration as implementing bold, forward-looking policies to address Nigeria’s complex challenges. These reforms aim to stabilize the economy, attract investment, improve the business environment, and lift millions out of poverty.
The APC urged Nigerians to support President Tinubu’s administration, despite the temporary economic pains associated with the reforms, and assured that better days are ahead for all Nigerians.
