The All Progressives Congress, APC, said former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has continued to gaslight Nigerians, inciting outrage and enabling street protests against the administration’s reform policy plan.....Read Full Article>>
This is even as the party claimed that Atiku is restless since his electoral loss in 2023.
This was stated by Felix Morka, National Publicity Secretary of APC.
The statement comes after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar stated that Nigerians were inundating him with inquiries on solutions to Nigeria’s current challenges.
Atiku said President Bola Tinubu’s government should be humble enough to borrow from his ideas to solve the country’s challenges in the interest of the Nigerian people.
However, APC described Atiku’s policy prescription as a disappointing rehash of the same old disastrous policy approaches that brought Nigeria to its knees.
According to the party, Atiku’s policy starkly failed to acknowledge complex contradictions, past mistakes and the extreme urgency of the moment.
“Since his electoral loss in 2023, presidential candidate of People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has been restless.
“Atiku’s policy prescription was a disappointing rehash of more of the same old disastrous policy approaches that brought our country to its knees, to begin with, under the PDP’s long rule.
“Atiku’s policy offering starkly failed to acknowledge complex contradictions, past mistakes and the extreme urgency of the moment.
“His gradualist approach to subsidy removal and foreign exchange reforms have been tested before and failed to produce any significant outcomes. Specifically, his preferred managed-floating system unfairly favors opportunists and cronies who exploit and fleece the system for personal gain to the extreme detriment of the Nigerian people.
“But Atiku has continued to gaslight Nigerians, inciting outrage and enabling street protests against the administration’s reform policy plan that is designed to rebuild the country’s economy that he helped to destroy as a two-term Vice President under PDP’s wasteful years.
“President Tinubu remains committed to implementing bold, forward-looking and effective policies that address Nigeria’s complex challenges at their roots. President Tinubu’s reform agenda, tough as it may be, is required to build a strong, resilient, vibrant, prosperous and sustainable economy for present and future generations of Nigerians.
“Atiku’s relentless and indiscriminate condemnation of the administration’s policies for selfish partisan political mileage is hypocrisy taken too far. Nigerians expect and deserve more statesmanship from a former Vice President of the Federal Republic,” the statement partly read.

BREAKING: Obaseki converting political appointees to civil servants, 6 days to hand over- APC
Edo State Governor-elect, Senator Monday Okpebholo has raised the alarm over alleged conversion of political appointees to full time civil servants by the outgoing governor, Godwin Obaseki, six days to the end of his tenure.....Read Full Article>>
DAILY POST reports that Prince Kassim Afegbua, member, All Progressives Congress, APC, transition committee made the allegation in a statement made available to newsmen on Wednesday in Benin City.
Afegbua alleged that the political appointees that are being converted to full time civil servants are Senior Special Assistants and Special Assistants.
He said 186 of such appointees were appointed by the governor in September 2024, thereby bloating the numbers of aides around him.
He also alleged that the outgoing governor has just commenced the process of absorbing another 152 aides to compound the problem.
The APC transition committee member, said interview is presently ongoing as part of the governor’s effort to overburden the incoming administration with huge recurrent expenditure, when he (Obaseki) was aware that the state is already bugged down by a huge debt burden.
“It has come to our notice that Governor Obaseki is presently converting his Senior Special Assistants (SSA) and Special Assistants (SA) into full time civil service staff.
“Governor Obaseki, for eight years refused to recruit civil servants to fill up vacant positions and energize the civil service.
“He also refused to set up the Civil Service Commission until two weeks ago, in the twilight of his failed administration.
“We are alerting the public to be aware of Governor Obaseki’s deliberate engagement to stifle the resources of the state and pass on huge salaries and overhead to the incoming administration.
“This is not only a wicked act but a huge disservice to the incoming administration of Senator Monday Okpebholo.
“We have repeatedly stated the position of the incoming administration that anybody who is wrongly recruited or surreptitiously absorbed into the Civil Service, with backdated appointment letters would be relieved of his or her responsibility,” the statement said.
Afegbua opined that recruitment into Civil Service must not only follow due process, there has to be a need for such persons who are so recruited.
