At the heart of current affairs in Nigeria, a heated controversy pits the former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, against Bola Tinubu, the current leader. This confrontation mainly arises from the recent economic measures taken by the government, notably the unification of the exchange rate without adequate planning and prior consultations.
Nigerians face increasingly difficult economic conditions, marked by the removal of gasoline subsidies and the liberalization of the foreign exchange market. This situation has considerably impacted the purchasing power of citizens, depriving them of essential goods and services.
Atiku Abubakar claims to have anticipated these challenges at the end of President Buhari’s mandate, which is why he included in his electoral program a comprehensive plan to reform the foreign exchange market. He criticizes the current President for not having been able to present effective measures to get the country out of this economic crisis.
During a recent meeting, Bola Tinubu failed to provide concrete solutions to counter the current crisis, which triggered the anger of Atiku Abubakar. The latter highlights the economic policy errors of the government in place which, according to him, contribute to worsening the economic situation of the country and causing unnecessary suffering for the population.
Despite this critical situation, Atiku Abubakar remains optimistic about the possibility of getting the country out of this crisis. He emphasizes the importance of adopting appropriate economic policies, based on in-depth analyzes of the country’s economic situation.
This confrontation between Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu highlights the major economic challenges facing Nigeria and underlines the urgent need for effective measures to redress the current situation.
