Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar recently criticized President Bola Tinubu, stressing that he does not condone bigotry or involvement in any criminal activity. Addressing accusations against him, Atiku distanced himself from past drug-related allegations, emphasizing that his career has been marked by dedication to fairness and legality. His remarks appeared aimed at contrasting his personal integrity with the controversies surrounding Tinubu’s past.
Atiku expressed disappointment at what he perceives as Tinubu’s lack of accountability, highlighting that issues like “wickedness” and divisive tactics are not part of his own political principles. Atiku described Tinubu’s leadership style as harmful, particularly in handling sensitive issues related to national unity and social welfare. His comments suggested a belief that Tinubu’s approach fails to unify the Nigerian populace effectively.
These statements add fuel to the political rivalry between Tinubu and Atiku, reflecting a divide between their visions for Nigeria. As they prepare for future electoral contests, both leaders appear keen on underscoring their starkly different approaches to governance, hoping to sway public perception in their favor.
