Atiku knocks Tinubu government over workers’ plight

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration for worsening conditions for Nigerian workers, calling the fuel subsidy removal "poorly handled." On Workers' Day 2026, he stated that the slogan "Renewed Hope" has turned into "renewed hardship" for millions of Nigerians. Atiku also noted that rising transportation fares and food prices have exacerbated the economic situation for workers.
