The Congress of all progressives (APC) accused the former vice president and presidential candidate of the Popular Democratic Party (PDP) in the general elections of 2023, Atiku Abubakar, to instigate the Nigerians against the Ball Administration Ahmed Tinubu.
The ruling party was reacting to Monday’s statement by the former vice president, in which he approved a conviction of the current administration.
Atiku declared that the Tinubu administration lacked the ability to mitigate the current challenges of hunger and insecurity faced by Nigerians.
The National Secretary of Advertising of the APC, Felix Morka, in a statement, criticized the position of the former presidential candidate of the PDP, whom he accused of being one of the intellectual authors of the poor state of the economy.
He argued that the 16 years of the former ruling party, the PDP, in which Atiku served as vice president for eight years, was a colossal failure.
The statement is read in part: “Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, former vice president and presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of the Peoples (PDP) in the presidential elections of 2023, on Monday, September 15, 2025, is a new minimum, in a recent run of incendiary comments.
“A false alarm sounded on” hunger and insecurity, “dismissed the transforming reforms of the administration of President Bola Tinubu and compared Nigeria’s situation with the circumstances that justified revolutions and historical violent surveys in France, Russia and Arab spring.
“While he is expelled as a criticism of the economic policies of the administration of President Tinubu, Atiku’s statement is nothing less than a tacit instigation of a revolution in Nigeria. His statement is imprudent, irresponsible, unpleasant and degrading to his status as former vice president.
“As vice president of two periods, Atiku and his PDP, at that time, had the opportunity, backed by huge income from oil, to eradicate hunger, poverty and insecurity in Nigeria.
“They registered for 16 years, they could not and could not eradicate hunger, poverty and insecurity in Nigeria. Instead, Atiku and their PDP democratized hunger and poverty in our country. They looted and looted our treasury, and corruption and corruption and deployment as state policy. He is fighting with courage and implacably to defeat, with a growing success.
“As vice president, Atiku had no idea to solve Nigeria’s economic challenges. As an always presidential applicant, he still does not need what is needed to face the economic challenges of our country.
“Atiku’s confession to the looting of $ 16 billion destined to provide electricity to the Nigerians, under their surveillance as vice president, is a marked reminder of its incompetent and failed leadership history. Now out of power, Atiku believes that he possesses the knowledge and capacity that he had so miserably missing when he had the opportunity to govern as vice president.
“That is completely delusional. Nigerians know this and is why they have rejected their attempts to be president in series. Nigerians are waiting to deal with Atiku, hopefully, a total and final rejection in 2027.
“Blinded by despair, tormented by the impressive and inimitable strides of President Tinubu, distressed by an unrealized presidential ambition, disoriented by the anxieties of a political disaster future, Atiku has become unable to objective, reasoned and rational evaluation of the state of our economy bounced and stable, now to ensure growth and offer prosperity for our nation.
“That disturbing statement of Atiku was made on a day when all news platforms had main reports of constant decrease in inflation numbers, in a period in which all vital economic indicators are looking up and pointing out in a positive address, clearly shows that it is out of contact with the reality of the benefits that now flow from the renewed transformative economic reforms of the administration.
“Atiku must know that instigating anarchy is not a legitimate or justifiable opposition policy. It is incorrect, irresponsible, unattractable and unacceptable. Although the criticism of the economic policies of the administration of the administration is within the democratic freedom of the opposition, instigating a violent lifting is not a protected freedom. The language capable of enviving violence and undermining peace and safety Nigerian.
“We trust the Nigerians to ignore the inciting statement of Atiku as selfish, antidemocratic and a threat to peace, unity, interest and progress of our beloved country. Atiku barely resides in Nigeria and will not be available to participate in pain, destruction, destruction, chaos and desolation that the revolution is instigating. The political ambition of Atiku.
“We urge the Nigerians to stand firm in support of the administration of President Tinubu as he continues in his unwavering efforts to build a nation of our collective dream.”
