Atiku Criticizes Tinubu on Economic Policy and Local Government Autonomy

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress for the 2027 election, has sharply criticized President Bola Tinubu's administration, accusing it of hypocrisy in its economic policies and of failing to enforce a key Supreme Court ruling on local government autonomy. In a series of statements released on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, the former vice president outlined his own policy proposals while challenging the government's consistency and commitment to reform. At the center of the dispute is the cost of living.
