Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has faulted claims by the Presidency that the country is making economic progress even as he stated that citizens are facing worsening poverty, food insecurity, rising business closures and declining purchasing power. “The true measure of economic management is whether families are living better today than they were yesterday. According to him, soaring fuel prices, rising transportation costs and declining purchasing power have overshadowed any expected gains from the policy. The former vice president also criticised the Presidency for continuing to blame previous administrations for Nigeria’s current economic challenges more than three years after President Tinubu assumed office. According to him, governments should be assessed by their ability to solve problems rather than attribute current difficulties to predecessors.
