The ruling All Progressives Congress on Tuesday described former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as a desperate politician suffering from primordial envy following his renewed attack on the administration of President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n
The former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party had expressed concerns in a statement issued in Abuja to appraise the president\u2019s one year in office that the nation\u2019s economy has worsened.<\/p>\n
Atiku also stated that Tinubu has embarked on a \u2018cocktail of policies\u2019 with no concrete plans to achieve the remodelling of the economy that he promised after his inauguration.<\/p>\n
Reacting in a counter statement issued in Abuja titled \u2018Atiku Abubakar is befogged with political envy,\u2019 the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, knocked Atiku, saying he was too blinded by his ambition to appreciate the outstanding first-year achievements of the President.<\/p>\n
Morka also disclosed that the former VP was not in a position to dismiss Tinubu\u2019s ongoing policies as \u2018trial and error.\u2019<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cAtiku\u2019s self-serving efforts to minimize the bold, genuine, and metamorphic policies and interventions of the present administration only smacks of primordial political envy and crass desperation for the power Nigerians have so wisely denied him. He lives in an alternate reality of prejudice and unpatriotic desire for Nigeria\u2019s failure so he may scavenge his way to an even more elusive presidency.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe President needs the support and encouragement of Nigerians, not the bile-filled pessimism of partisan Atikus. Atiku\u2019s false alarm of an imminent food scarcity boldface ignores the widely acknowledged proactive measures already introduced by President Tinubu to guarantee food security in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe former Vice President\u2019s swipe on the administration\u2019s national security management again betrays his lack of touch with the reality of our current situation. Not only did the administration revamp and reconfigure the country\u2019s security apparatus, but it also created a Special Security Fund to boost its superiority and operational effectiveness against merchants of crime and insecurity.<\/p>\n
\u201cYet, Atiku turns a blind eye to considerable improvement in our security, especially in the North East where Atiku hails from. The opposition\u2019s efforts to burden the administration with ceaseless, contrived, unjustified, and diversionary reproval is grossly miscalculated and misleading.<\/p>\n
\u201cTinubu remains unshakable in his commitment to building concrete blocks of progress and greatness for Nigeria. While Atiku and his band of mudslingers idle away, the President will continue, unstoppably, to deliver high-grade infrastructure not only in our nation\u2019s capital, Abuja but all around the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
