Presidential Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga, stated this in a statement titled, ‘Facts, Not Fear: A Point-by-Point Response to Atiku Abubakar on Nigeria’s Reform Journey.’
Onanuga said Atiku’s assessment relied largely on 2024 economic data and ignored gains recorded in 2025 and 2026 under Tinubu’s reform agenda.
He argued that many of Nigeria’s economic challenges predated the Tinubu administration and required bold corrective measures.
Addressing taxation concerns, Onanuga said the administration’s reforms were designed to broaden the tax net while protecting vulnerable citizens.
He maintained that the Tinubu administration’s reforms represented a long-term strategy to reposition and strengthen the Nigerian economy.
