The Presidency says former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, is envious of President Bola Tinubu’s position, an office the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the 2023 election has unsuccessfully sought six times.
The ex-VP was criticised by the Presidency for proposing economic reforms and anti-corruption measures in a recent tweet titled, “What We Would Have Done Differently.”
A State House release on Sunday signed by the presidential Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, claimed that since Atiku’s loss to Tinubu, he has “shown more interest in undermining President Bola Ahmed Tinubu than in addressing his party’s internal crises. We suspect he is envious of Tinubu’s position—an office he has unsuccessfully sought six times.
According to the Presidency, Atiku’s idea of a consultation period upon entering office shows a troubling lack of awareness regarding the state of the economy, which was in dire need of urgent action.
It hailed Tinubu’s administration for a firm action plan to address the shortcomings that persisted during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s time when Atiku was vice president.
