The African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Thursday accused President Bola Tinubu of making “Yahoo Yahoo” promises to Nigerians.
Atiku recalled how Tinubu promised to ensure lower transportation costs from October 1 as part of measures to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal but failed.
In his speech to mark Nigeria’s 66th Independence anniversary, Atiku said almost everything about Tinubu was “fake.”
He reminded the President that families were struggling due to his economic policies.
He said: “Bola, you have put the weight of Nigeria’s economy on a skateboard, families are struggling the journey, prosperity is going smoothly and it’s typical of yourself, everything is fake.
“Before I forget, you promised Nigerians lower transport fares from October 1. Today is October 1. Did your promise miss the bus?
“You attacked my plan to make life affordable in your Independence Day speech, but you did not tell Nigerians which additional routes became cheaper Today. Bola, was this a Yahoo Yahoo promise?”
