2027: Atiku lacks the expertise to fix Nigeria’s economy, APC National Secretary says

Ajibola Bashiru, national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), questioned former vice-president Atiku Abubakar’s economic credentials on Channels Television’s Politics Today. He said President Bola Tinubu was addressing Nigeria’s economic challenges and blamed Atiku in part for the problems. Bashiru predicted voters would reject Atiku in the 2027 presidential election, describing his bid as a final attempt. He also criticized opposition promises to cut petrol prices to 200 or 300 naira as unrealistic.
