Presidential aspirant of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying he is deeply disappointed with its performance and would prioritise security if elected.
He said this on Wednesday during an interview with Arise TV.
When asked about his strategy to defeat an incumbent president, Atiku declined to give details.
He said: “Why would I sit down and then start discussing my political strategy at this forum?”
He also dismissed claims that a coalition candidate would struggle against Tinubu.
Pressed further on what he would change immediately if he became president, Atiku said: “Everything is wrong with President Tinubu. I mean, honestly, perhaps in my life this is the worst administration I have seen.”
He added that his disappointment cuts across several areas: “I feel terribly disappointed. Economically, otherwise, I feel disappointed.”
On what he would focus on within his first 30 days in office, Atiku stressed that security, law and order would come first.
According to him: “I believe security, law and order are basic. Whatever you want to achieve, if you don’t have security, you don’t have law and order, I don’t think you can implement whatever policy, whether it is job creation, whether it is infrastructure development, whether it is health care, whatever, you must have a secure and stable country.”
