Atiku’s aide criticizes Tinubu, stating that Nigerians are enduring hardships due to trial-and-error policies

Mr Paul Ibe, the media aide to former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has said President Bola Tinubu’s policies are trial and error.

Ibe said Tinubu never had any policy prescriptions, hence the sufferings Nigerians are currently experiencing.

He insisted that Tinubu was not prepared for governance because he had no concrete economic policy template unlike Atiku that had ‘My Covenant’.

Speaking with News Central, Ibe said: “When Tinubu became president he inherited both assets and liabilities, so he should stop looking back like Lot’s wife; else he turns into a pillar of salt.

“Obasanjo’s administration which Atiku served started the process of subsidy removal, they did tranches of removal and successive administrations like Yar’Adua was expected to take over from them because Obasanjo’s administration believed the gradual approach of the removal would be better instead of one major removal that would have repercussion.

“They had done it twice and the removal was supposed to be continued, unfortunately, we are where we are today.

“Nigerians did not reject Atiku Abubakar, the mandate of Nigerians was stolen by the APC working with criminal INEC and State institutions.

“We are not aware of any presentation that was made policy wise by the Tinubu administration, maybe that is why they are running from pillar to post with their trial and error policies.

“Atiku presented My Covenant with Nigerians; those are his policy prescriptions; and when he unveiled it, he asked Nigerians to make imputes and they were updated.

“We are not aware that Tinubu had any policy prescriptions and if he had we will not be where we are today. They were never prepared for the challenges of governance.

“Tinubu as a candidate knew the state of the economy, he knew the state of the subsidy regime; so you can’t be crying over spilt milk.

“You can’t be a president one day and unable to govern, unable to deal with the challenges of subsidy, of the new forex regime he introduced. They have only themselves to blame for why Nigerians continue to suffer.”
