The political gloves are off, and the heat in Abuja is reaching boiling point! Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has fired a blistering response at President Bola Tinubu, bluntly declaring that the current administration is Nigeria’s true liability, not former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The scathing exchange erupted after the presidency allegedly pointed fingers at the past administration for the country’s biting economic woes. Never one to shy away from a political showdown, Atiku hit back hard, accusing the current leadership of weaponizing excuses rather than taking accountability for failing policies.
According to the Wazirin Adamawa, shifting blame onto the previous government is a worn-out strategy designed to mask an absolute lack of direction. He emphasized that Nigerians are suffering under the weight of harsh reforms, soaring inflation, and mounting insecurity, noting that the buck stops firmly at President Tinubu’s desk.
“You cannot inherit power and then spend your tenure crying over spilled milk while ordinary citizens bear the brunt of your miscalculations,” political analysts note, echoing Atiku’s fiery sentiment.
As the 2027 political horizon draws closer, this high-stakes war of words signals that the battle lines are officially drawn. Will the administration buckle down and address the mounting criticisms, or will the blame game continue to dominate the airwaves?
