The statement urged the Tinubu administration to adopt a “Nigeria First” approach.
The 2023 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has challenged President Bola Tinubu’s administration to prioritize Nigeria’s unity and practice what it preaches.
Atiku’s media aide, Paul Ibe, made this known in a statement, citing that Nigeria has experienced various divisions since Tinubu became president.
According to Ibe, President Tinubu’s administration sticks to a “snatch and grab” agenda with no plans to strengthen Nigeria’s democracy.
The statement read: “We urge the Tinubu administration to practice what it preaches by embracing the Nigeria First ideals in replacement to the self-entitled and other primordial sentiments it panders to.”

The statement further condemned the Tinubu administration’s reaction to the gathering of political leaders across the country, aimed at fostering democracy and credible elections.
Ibe stated: “If the Tinubu administration could describe opposition in a democracy in the language of the era of Dark Ages, we find such behaviour as unbecoming and a stark attack on the collective impression of our hard-won democracy and the fundamental human rights that it guarantees.”
APC Group Faults Aides’ Silence on Amaechi’s Attack on Tinubu
The All Progressives Congress Support Vanguard (APCSV) has faulted the failure of presidential aides to respond to former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi’s recent criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
In a statement signed by its chairman, Abdullahi Mohammed Tofa, the APC group stated, “Aside the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, who issued a warning to the former Minister of Transportation over what he described as reckless and inciting statements regarding the leadership of President Bola Tinubu, we are yet to see others that rose in defense of Tinubu.”
