Main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s presidential candidate in 2023 general election and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has blasted President Bola Tinubu over lack of clear ideas on how to solve the foreign exchange crisis, which has affected the Naira and exacerbated the economic situation in the country.
The former vice president stated this against the backdrop of Tinubu’s meeting last Thursday with governors and other stakeholders to address the Foreign Exchange crisis and the problem of economic downturn.
Atiku, however, made some suggestions on his verified X platform, including a managed-floating foreign exchange system and ensuring sufficient FX reserves as contained in his policy document titled: “My Covenant With Nigerians”, with which he campaigned as presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023 electioneering campaign.

The former vice president stated that when the government is ready to open itself to sound counsels, control internal bleedings caused by corruption and poorly negotiated foreign loans, the Nigerian economy would begin to find a footing once again.
Atiku said Tinubu failed, yet again, to showcase any concrete policy step that his administration is taking to contain the crises of currency fluctuation and poverty that face the country.
“Rather, he told the country and experts who have been offering ideas on how to resolve the crisis that he and his team should not be distracted and allowed time to continue cooking their cocktail that has brought untold hardship to the people of Nigeria. I don’t agree with that,” main opposition PDP candidate said.
This is even as Tinubu’s government fights dirty over the former Vice President’s suggestions./PLEASE SHARE
