You Are Blind if You ‘Cant See Tinubu’s Achievements, APC Slams Atiku
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a scathing response to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s criticisms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, describing his remarks as rooted in “political envy” and “deliberate blindness.”
Reacting to Atiku’s recent comments that questioned the effectiveness of Tinubu’s economic policies, the APC declared that “only those who choose to be blind would fail to see the President’s achievements over the past two years.”
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the ruling party accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate of engaging in baseless attacks rather than offering constructive alternatives.
“Atiku Abubakar continues to peddle negativity and misinformation, blinded by his desperation for power and refusal to acknowledge the significant gains Nigeria has made under Tinubu’s leadership,” the statement read.
The APC highlighted what it called “visible progress” across sectors, including the attraction of over $20 billion in foreign and local investments, the resurgence of the Nigerian stock exchange, massive infrastructure rollouts such as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, and reforms in the petroleum and electricity sectors.
According to Morka, the Tinubu administration’s bold economic steps including the removal of fuel subsidies, currency unification, and renewed investor confidence have placed Nigeria on a sustainable growth trajectory.
“President Tinubu has shown courage where others wavered. He inherited a nation at the brink of fiscal collapse and made the hard choices to steer us away from disaster. That Atiku fails to see this is not surprising it is a willful act of denial,” Morka stated.
The APC also criticized Atiku’s past track record, pointing to his role in controversial privatization efforts during the Obasanjo administration and accusing him of attempting to “sell off Nigeria’s commonwealth to cronies.
“Atiku’s economic proposals, repeatedly rejected by Nigerians at the ballot box, offer nothing new. His criticisms are not only hollow but laced with the bitterness of political rejection,” the statement continued.
This exchange adds a new layer to the ongoing political rivalry between the two statesmen, both of whom contested the fiercely fought 2023 presidential election. While Tinubu emerged victorious, Atiku has remained one of the administration’s most vocal critics.
The Presidency, alongside the APC, maintains that Tinubu’s reforms, though painful, are essential for long-term prosperity. They assert that the administration remains committed to lifting millions out of poverty, modernizing infrastructure, and restoring Nigeria’s economic sovereignty.
As Nigeria marks two years of the “Renewed Hope” agenda, the political temperature remains high, with both sides gearing up for what is likely to be an intense build-up to 2027.
