The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate of making inciting statements to instigate the public against the Tinubu-led administration.
In a post on the X platform, Atiku said there was hunger in the land as basic commodities, including bread, were becoming out of reach for average Nigerians.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, during an interview with Channels TV, urged the duo to proffer solutions to President Bola Tinubu and not just condemn what the government was doing to address economic hardship in the country.
“Opposition politics is not necessarily about condemning. These individuals, Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, touted some of the economic policies this government is running with to be at the core of their economic agenda. So what has happened? So it is not enough to just condemn, these leaders should be able to, assuming they have the silver bullets this government is not deploying, they point it out. It is not enough for Atiku Abubakar to bandy words. I expect a man who thinks deeply as he claims about governance, economy, and other aspects of our natural life to offer ideas, concrete suggestions” he said.
