Atiku’s Spokesman Blasts Tinubu’s Administration, Fayose’s Remarks
In what could be described as a rejoinder, Atiku Abubakar’s spokesperson, Paul Ibe, came hard on the immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, over his recent interview on Channels Television, as he berated the administration of President Bola Tinubu, describing its policies as cataclysmic and squarely against the aspirations of many Nigerians.
Ibe reacted on X to comments made by Fayose concerning population control and good governance. According to him, though overpopulation is very important, it is not the major problem in the country. He wrote that despite the very large populations of countries like India and China, these countries managed to keep and protect their citizens.
Ibe described Tinubu’s governance as a series of failed promises and missteps, which have left Nigerians grappling with unmet expectations and worsening conditions.
“Nigeria is currently cursed with Bola Tinubu, a bumbling leader whose disastrous policies have crushed Nigerians’ hopes. He promised paradise but is delivering a train wreck, basking in the chaos he’s unleashed,” Ibe stated.
He also criticized Fayose, saying, “Then we have former Governor Ayo Fayose, who seems to either recognize our true problems or conveniently forgets his corruption charges for allegedly robbing Ekiti State blind. His brand of alleged theft is a significant issue, yet he distracts us, riding the #Awalokan wave, spouting irrelevant nonsense while ignoring the real crises.”
Ibe further accused Fayose of following Tinubu’s playbook, which he claimed was a campaign soaked in tribalism now translating into a narrow-minded governance agenda. “The voter profiling and exclusion tactics in certain areas are only widening our national rifts. Every region has its unique challenges, and genuine leadership should address these issues, not exploit them to seem superior,” he said.
Ibe concluded by urging other Nigerian leaders to focus on genuine issues and meaningful solutions rather than engaging in divisive politics.
