Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar on Sunday said President Bola Tinubu’s government should be humble enough to borrow from his ideas in the interest of the Nigerian people.
The statement comes after Atiku disclosed that Nigerians were inundating him with inquiries on solutions to Nigeria’s current challenges.
In a post on his X handle, the ex-VP described such inquiries as distraction from the critical questions of what Tinubu needs to do to save Nigerians from the excruciating pains arising from his trial-and-error economic policies.
However, Atiku went on to suggest some ideas that he believed would have the potential to transform the country.
It was reported that the former Vice President described Tinubu’s floating of the exchange rate system as an overkill, urging the President to be humble enough to borrow from his ideas.
“I’ve been inundated with inquiries of what I would have done differently if I were at the helm of affairs of our country. I am not the president, Tinubu is.
“The focus should be on him and not on me or any other. I believe that such inquiries distract from the critical questions of what President Bola Tinubu needs to do to save Nigerians from the excruciating pains arising from his trial-and-error economic policies.
“However, I understand and appreciate the challenges faced by citizens in seeking alternatives to what is not working for them.
“I hope Tinubu and members of his administration are humble enough to borrow one or two things from our ideas in the interest of the Nigerian people.
“I would now go ahead and articulate some of our ideas that would have had the potential to transform our beloved country,” Atiku said.
