The presidency has launched a counter-attack on the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar over comments credited to him that he would have done better if he emerged as President in the 2023 general elections.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy on Sunday, reacted to Atiku’s statement, saying if he had won he would have plunged Nigeria into economic quagmire than it is today.
Recall that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general election, Atiku had reeled out a number of measures he would have adopted to salvage the Nigerian economy.
But Onanuga accused Abubakar of trying to discredit President Tinubu’s economic reform programmes while pushing his untested agenda as a better alternative.
According to the presidential media aide Atiku’s ideas lacked details and were rejected by Nigerians in the 2023 poll
