.....Over World Bank Repport The Senior Special Assistant to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, has reacted to the World Bank Report on Nigeria’s worsening poverty rate. Speaking in a statement in Abuja on Friday, he warned that Nigeria’s worsening poverty rate is an indication of how low the country’s economy has sunk since President Bola Tinubu took office. Shaibu argued that the current economic hardship is no accident, but rather the “direct outcome of poorly conceived and harshly implemented policies.” He cited the “abrupt removal of fuel subsidies” and the “chaotic devaluation of the naira,” asserting that these measures were “executed without adequate safeguards for the Nigerian people.” According to the statement, the administration’s reliance on abstract macroeconomic indicators ignores the “far harsher reality” faced by the citizenry. Shaibu noted that “food prices have spiralled out of control, inflation has wiped out incomes, small businesses are collapsing, and millions more Nigerians are being pushed into extreme poverty.” He described the government’s approach as “economic shock therapy imposed on a vulnerable population.” “A government that presides over a situation where the majority of its people are poor, yet insists that progress is being made, has lost both moral authority and economic direction.” He said the administration is “dangerously disconnected from the lived realities of its citizens.” In contrast to the current “policy experiments,” the statement noted that Atiku Abubakar offers an alternative “rooted in experience, pragmatism, and compassion.” Shaibu detailed a vision in which “reform must be carefully sequenced, not recklessly imposed,” and “social protection must be real, targeted, and transparent, not symbolic.” He said the Waziri Adamawa’s proposed strategy focuses on stabilising the economy through the coordination of fiscal and monetary policy while “rebuilding productivity through support for small businesses, agriculture, and industry.” |
Tinubu has managed to create one thing very well......poverty |
Godfullsam:Is governing Lagos State no longer the yardstick? We were told that Tinubu built Lagos from scratch and even tamed the Atlantic Ocean, that was the standard used. So Seyi should start from there. Let’s support him. |
Godfullsam:You don't want Seyi Tinubu as governor of Lagos state |
tunjijones:If anything, this just confirms that Muhammadu Buhari outperform Tinubu in every respect. Tinubu has proven to be a monumental disaster |
We want Seyi Tinubu as next governor of Lagos state |
tunjijones:Let me ask, are we currently experiencing peace under Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration? |
Cherrybae:Cherrybea why take it personal |
sunnyprof:Greed and selfish interest is the reason wike did what he did |
tunjijones:PDP didn’t zone its presidential ticket to any region, it was open to all. Every aspirant had a fair shot. What happens in APC isn’t a yardstick for PDP. After all, the last PDP president, Goodluck Jonathan, was from the South |
Today, Bayo Onanuga, a 70-year-old senior domestic servant, works for a NADECO wannabe and self-acclaimed democrat who has turned out worse than Abacha. |
Abba Moro is obviously lying to himself just to stay in Wike’s good books. He knows the PDP crisis started when Wike lost the presidential primary to Atiku. When Atiku refused to pick him as running mate, he went rogue, berserk, engaging in anti-party activities, backing Tinubu, and eventually using federal power to weaken and destroy the party |
Hmm |
Thunder 🔥⚡🔥⚡ you and your 100 years there |
Which yeye security briefing is Nigeria’s chief mourner engaging in, the one that will actually yield results, or the usual Thunder ⚡🔥⚡ 🔥 him there |
Renewed Hope’ has become less of a manifesto and more of a case study in policy failure |
Tareq1105:Why are you taking it personally? The article literally cites a credible source, take it up with them, not me. |
Ballmer:I understand your pain and anguish. But directing it at Peter Obi is clearly misplaced, and grossly misdirected. You’ve been subjected to untold hardship, strife, worsening insecurity, electricity blackouts, economic strangulation, and a wiped-out purchasing power. So now, “Peter Obi will never be president” has become your coping mechanism. But you know very well he has no hand in your present, pitiable predicament. The pain you’re going through has a source, and it isn’t him. Tinubu is the source Kindly redirect your anger where it actually belongs |
TossTos:Did Goodluck Jonathan complete 8years? Thunder 🔥 ⚡ 🔥 ⚡ you there |
SuperEagles:Stale |
franugo:Buhari, a military general is far more democratic than this drug bárón NADECO wannabe |
DEMOO07:I feel your pains The truth hurts |
Omoboricash:Is Tinubu the only founding father of APC? |
yarimo:Tell the illegitimate Nentawe Yilwatda, who is parading himself as APC National Chairman, to vacate the office. He, the illegitimate APC executive and Tinubu have deviated from the progressive ideals of the party’s founding fathers. The APC is now run like a criminal drug gang, lawless and marked by institutional, legislative, and executive recklessness, as well as judicial banditry. As a result, it lacks legitimacy, the people are no longer with them and as we all know, legitimacy is derived from the people. |
The APC must be rescued from the grip of a notorious drug baron. It has drifted far from what its founding figures Buhari, Ogbonnaya Onu, and others, envisioned: a truly progressive party. What we have now is a “grab it, snatch it, and run” operation that resembles a criminal gang. Under Tinubu, the APC has become a party that shows blatant disregard for the rule of law, with the judiciary and legislature criminally captured, and the democratic space increasingly emasculated. The APC must be rescued. |

Tinubu behaving like mourner-in-chief instead of commander-in-chief: ADC Spokesman Mr Tinubu has been accused of acting as mourner-in-chief instead of the commander-in-chief of Nigeria amid insurgency. President Bola Tinubu has abdicated his role as the commander-in-chief of the country and has turned himself into the mourner-in-chief as violent non-state actors sweep across the country with impunity, says Nigeria’s major opposition party. Specifically, Bolaji Abdullahi, spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress, excoriated Mr Tinubu for failing to protect innocent civilians from violent attacks by bandits and terrorists. “Nigeria needs a real commander-in-chief, not a chief mourner,” Mr Abdullahi said in a statement on Tuesday on X. The ADC statement listed six occasions when Mr Tinubu condemned killings and repeatedly promised to bring down the perpetrators while killings persisted. “Since May 2023, President Bola Tinubu has turned ‘never again’ into a template response to insecurity and the killings of Nigerians. Every massacre under his watch. Every abduction under his failed leadership. Same script. Same lines. Same outcome,” Mr Abdullahi said, citing Mr Tinubu’s response to various attacks in Kwara, Kebbi, Benue, Plateau, and other parts of the country. He added, “Six different tragedies. Six presidential promises. Six presidential failures. Zero presidential results.” Lamenting the wave of killings during the Easter period, Mr Abdullahi said, “And then Easter came. April 5–6, 2026 — Kaduna. Borno. Plateau. Benue. Churches attacked. Villages raided. Security forces ambushed. Families buried. “At this point, hearing ‘enough is enough’ is no longer a statement of reassurance; it is a declaration of helplessness and surrender.” The presidency did not immediately respond to Mr Abdullahi’s criticisms of the president https://gazettengr.com/tinubu-behaving-like-mourner-in-chief-instead-of-commander-in-chief-adc-spokesman/ |
billgabb:And don't just sell for peanuts, sell big Nafiu Bala Gombe sold big and today he is riding in armoured SUV's, with security, sleeping in the best hotels in Abuja and riding in private jet |
obi4eze:The biggest in the underworld |
Anyone campaigning for Tinubu, a man presiding over what is now regarded as the worst regime in this country’s history, should be disowned and banished. Such an individual seems incapable of living among sane humans. |
Heavens won’t fall. If anything, the ADC may have no choice but to consider a parallel government, just as the APC once threatened during the Goodluck Jonathan era. Legitimacy comes from the people. And Nigerians, having tested the APC and endured hardship, economic collapse, worsening insecurity, and electricity blackouts, will ultimately decide who to follow. |
