President Bola Tinubu’s administration has been described as the most incompetent and anti-people in Nigeria’s history.
Former Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, said Tinubu’s two years in office has been marred with failure.
In a statement he personally signed, Atiku accused Tinubu’s administration of inflicting more hardship on Nigerians like no other previous administration.
Atiku’s statement reads partly: “In just two years, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has proven to be one of the most incompetent, disconnected, and anti-people governments in Nigeria’s democratic history.
“No previous administration has inflicted this level of hardship on the masses while showing such disregard for transparency, accountability, and responsible leadership.’’
The former Vice President blamed the high level of poverty in Nigeria to Tinubu administration’s wastefulness.
He said: ‘’This government has not only deepened poverty across the country, but it has also set new records in wasteful public spending.
“It is sad that apart from being the poverty capital of the world, Nigeria has under this administration emerged the capital of malnourished children in Africa, having beaten Sudan, a nation that is at war.”
