President Bola Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, has attributed Nigeria’s current economic challenges to the poor economic management decisions made by former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidents, Olusegun Obasanjo, the late Umar Yar’Adua, and Goodluck Jonathan. Onanuga made this assertion in a statement released on Monday.
According to Onanuga, the economic crisis that the All Progressives Congress (APC) administrations have been grappling with since 2015 is a direct result of the poor choices made by Obasanjo and his successors from the PDP. Onanuga specifically mentioned that Obasanjo and his deputy, Atiku Abubakar, established their private universities, which he described as a “joint vote of no confidence in our tertiary institutions.”
Onanuga’s statement is seen as a response to Obasanjo’s recent criticism of Tinubu’s economic policies, which he described as failing. Obasanjo had also referred to Tinubu as “baba go-slow,” implying that his administration is slow in addressing the country’s economic challenges.
It is worth noting that the APC administration has been facing criticism for its handling of the economy, with many Nigerians expressing concerns about the rising cost of living, unemployment, and poverty. However, the APC has maintained that it inherited a weak economy from the previous PDP administration and is working to address the challenges.
