Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president, has maintained that the current All Progressives Congress, or APC, rigged the results of the 2023 presidential election.
Atiku’s claim followed an attack on him by the Presidency over his criticism of the President Bola Tinubu’s policies
ZINGTIE remembers that the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate claimed he would have performed better if he had won the presidency in the general elections of 2023, despite complaining about the immense suffering that the people was experiencing.
Tinubu’s media assistant, Bayo Onanuga, quickly responded by claiming that Atiku’s victory would have negatively impacted Nigeria.
Onanuga made fun of Atiku, claiming that Nigerians had voted for Tinubu instead of him.
In a statement on Monday, Atiku responded to Onanuga’s outburst by saying he did not lose the election.
“Let me emphasize that the citizens who cast their votes in the 2023 presidential election are well aware that I did not lose; rather, we find ourselves in this predicament because the election was criminally stolen from the Nigerian people”, he said.
Regarding the President’s contentious tax reform bills, Atiku stated, “We cannot hope to tax our way out of the economic quagmire wrought by these misguided experimental policies of a novice administration.
“Numerous nations, such as the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Monaco (an EU territory with a zero-income tax policy), among many others, have emerged as economic powerhouses by fostering growth through lower taxation.
“Why then are we fixated on inflicting further hardship upon an already struggling populace?
“One can only speculate that Tinubu’s government is anchored to a mere Tea-plan, which can only lead to a T-pain.”
