Forget the glossy ads and self-congratulatory speeches — Atiku Abubakar says the real report card for Tinubu’s three years in office is written in empty stomachs, shuttered shops, and the cries of abducted kids.

Atiku Abubakar isn’t mincing words about President Bola Tinubu’s three years in power. Speaking on Friday, the ADC presidential candidate said Tinubu’s report card isn’t found in slick media campaigns coming out of Abuja — it’s written in hunger, poverty, and the tears of Nigerian children who’ve been kidnapped.

According to cbinews.tv, Atiku, through his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, declared that the days of “political complacency, propaganda, and governance by deception” are winding down. Nigerians, he said, have had enough and are getting ready to take their country back at the ballot box.

“Every government is entitled to its own opinions, but no government is entitled to its own facts,” Atiku said. And the facts? He called them “stubborn and unforgiving.”

Three years ago, Tinubu promised *Renewed Hope*. What we got instead, Atiku argues, is renewed hardship, renewed insecurity, renewed poverty, and renewed hopelessness.

Let’s talk numbers. Food prices? Through the roof. Inflation? Atiku called it a “cruel tax on the poor.” SMEs are shutting down, investors are packing up, the naira’s taken a beating, and people’s purchasing power has basically collapsed. “Never in recent history have so many Nigerians worked so hard only to become poorer,” he said.

And while Nigerians battle the worst cost-of-living crisis in a generation, Atiku accuses the administration of churning out statistics, ceremonies, and PR stunts to fake progress.

Then there’s the borrowing. The government has borrowed trillions in the name of infrastructure, but Atiku says Nigerians aren’t seeing it in their daily lives. He cited public reports claiming the FG borrowed about N11.9 trillion in nine months but only spent N3.1 trillion on capital projects. His question: “Where did the rest of the money go?”

He also flagged that much of the infrastructure spend seems focused on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and Badagry-Sokoto Highway — both awarded to a company owned by a businessman Tinubu once called his “partner in daring.”

The picture Atiku paints is stark: ordinary Nigerians are being told to sacrifice, while the benefits of government spending flow to a “privileged circle of politically connected interests.”

His conclusion? A government that borrows trillions but can’t show clear results has no business celebrating. Nigerians don’t want debt tallies — they want results. — cbinews.tv
