A slower rise in prices does not restore what families have lost. He cites growth and rising exports. Nigerian businesses deserve credit for what they have achieved. But growth must improve lives. It cannot be a certificate of success that government awards itself while citizens struggle to survive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBola, you call Nigeria a patient with cancer. After three years of your treatment, why is it harder for Nigerians to buy food, pay for medicine or even get to work? Why does your government have more money while the people can afford less?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reacting to the broadcast, Fani-Kayode described it as \u201cintellectually flawed, highly disrespectful, inherently dishonest and utterly bereft of decency and logic\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He took particular exception to Atiku\u2019s use of Tinubu\u2019s first name, describing it as a \u201ccontinuous and contemptuous reference\u201d to the President.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSurely this level of pettiness is below even you. Yet despite this provocation, I will not refer to you as \u2018Kachalla\u2019 and accord you the respect that I still think you deserve,\u201d Fani-Kayode wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also cited comments by former Special Adviser on Political Matters to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo and former Director-General of the 2023 Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation, Akin Osuntokun, who reportedly described the use of Tinubu\u2019s first name as \u201ca needless display of disrespect\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fani-Kayode subsequently launched into a broader criticism of Atiku\u2019s political history, recalling his disagreements with Obasanjo during their time in office.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAre you not the same Atiku that betrayed his principal, President Olusegun Obasanjo, two years after he was elected into office in 1999 and conspired with a handful of governors to overthrow him at the primaries and take over his seat in 2003?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also accused Atiku of publicly criticising Obasanjo between 2003 and 2007 and questioned his explanation that his opposition was primarily motivated by Obasanjo\u2019s alleged third-term ambition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fani-Kayode further criticised Atiku for describing former President Goodluck Jonathan as an \u201cinexperienced young man\u201d who made mistakes and for his past comments about Vice President Kashim Shettima.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He argued that Atiku\u2019s own record of referring to political opponents by their first names or questioning their competence weakened his criticism of Tinubu\u2019s name being used without the title \u201cPresident\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Responding, Ibe said Fani-Kayode\u2019s lengthy intervention was unnecessary in a country grappling with hardship, insecurity and rising food, transport and energy costs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cNigeria is a republic, not a monarchy. The President is an elected public servant, not an emperor before whom opponents must genuflect. \u2018President\u2019 is an office, not a compulsory prefix shielding its occupant from criticism,\u201d Ibe said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAtiku committed no crime or constitutional violation by calling Bola Tinubu \u2018Bola\u2019. You may consider it discourteous. That is your opinion, not an offence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ibe also accused Fani-Kayode of hypocrisy, referring to his previous public disagreement with a Daily Trust journalist over questions posed to him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He further alleged that Fani-Kayode\u2019s writings about the Igbo had attracted accusations of ethnic stereotyping and inflammatory rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Turning to Fani-Kayode\u2019s references to Atiku\u2019s personal life, Ibe said: \u201cSince you have turned political disagreement into a sermon on personal morality, your own public baggage becomes relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also defended Atiku\u2019s record during the Obasanjo administration, arguing that political disagreement between the former president and his vice president should not be characterised as treachery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cPolitical disagreement is not treason. Atiku was Vice President, not Obasanjo\u2019s domestic servant. Indeed, Atiku\u2019s court victories from that era helped deepen Nigeria\u2019s constitutional democracy,\u201d Ibe said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On claims surrounding the relationship between Atiku and Obasanjo during their time in office, Ibe said the accounts remained disputed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOn the claim that Obasanjo knelt before Atiku, Atiku has denied it, while others have offered a different account. It remains disputed history. You may choose your version, but you cannot manufacture certainty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ibe also defended Atiku\u2019s comments on Jonathan, describing them as a political assessment rather than an insult.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOn Goodluck Jonathan, Atiku offered a political assessment of his preparedness for office. You may disagree. Criticism is not disrespect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By John Azu A war of words has erupted between aides to President Bola Tinubu and the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, over the use&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":129799,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-129798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
