A former Senator, Ayo Arise, has criticized Atiku Abubakar's proposed subsidy review as a move that could reopen the era of corruption, according to a report. The criticism comes amid growing political tensions between Atiku and the ruling party.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku, has faced accusations from the All Progressives Congress (APC) of competing with thieves and failing to address economic issues. The APC has condemned Atiku's claims that the current administration stole the economy after the 2023 election.
Atiku, who is running against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election, has accused the APC-led government of worsening the country's economic situation. The debate over economic management and corruption continues to fuel political discourse ahead of the next presidential election.
The controversy highlights the deepening divisions between political parties and the ongoing challenges in addressing economic governance in the country.
