In a recent statement titled 'Atiku Abubakar and his new hobby,' Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, refuted claims made by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar regarding the impact of President Tinubu's economic policies.
Atiku had criticized the government's response to economic challenges, accusing it of worsening the cost of living and causing the private sector's decline. Onanuga defended the administration, asserting that recent cost-of-living indices depict Nigeria as having the lowest cost of living in Africa.
He urged Atiku to acknowledge the economic challenges inherited by President Tinubu and highlighted ongoing reforms to address issues like fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate harmonization.
The presidential aide emphasized the administration's commitment to long-term prosperity despite immediate pains.
