In response to accusations by Atiku Abubakar, the Presidency claims Nigerians enjoy the lowest living costs in Africa. The Special Adviser, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, defends President Bola Tinubu’s focus on economic and security challenges, acknowledging short-term pains for long-term prosperity.
Meanwhile, APC Chieftain Olatunbosun Oyintiloye urges opposition parties to support Tinubu’s efforts in addressing rising violent crimes instead of criticism.
Atiku had argued that President Tinubu’s poor response to the nation’s challenges was setting the stage for a prolonged and deeper economic crisis. His economic policies, drawn from a so-called Renewed Hope Agenda, are ironically dashing hopes, creating pain and causing despair.
The private sector is shrinking by the day as small businesses are emasculated and as Multinational Companies, confused and weary of the economy, leave Nigeria in droves. The intense cost of living pressures has created more misery for the poor in towns and villages. There is hunger in the land as basic commodities, including BREAD, are becoming out of reach for average Nigerians.
Ex-lawmaker Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Osun, urged opposition parties to cease negative criticism and support Tinubu’s efforts in addressing security challenges collectively. He emphasized the need for stakeholders to unite and provide encouragement during this critical period.
