Atiku: IMF Report Confirms Nigerians Are Living “Organised Hardship” Under Tinubu

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar criticised President Tinubu’s economic policies after the International Monetary Fund downgraded Nigeria’s growth forecast and highlighted rising inflation. He called the current situation “organised hardship dressed up as reform,” blaming policy inconsistencies and a leadership disconnected from ordinary citizens. Atiku warned that soaring food prices, high transport costs, exchange rate instability and a weakening naira are pushing more Nigerians into poverty. He lamented that education has become a luxury and small businesses are folding under heavy electricity tariffs, taxes and a difficult business climate. He also raised alarm over Nigeria’s growing debt burden, saying the government is borrowing heavily without delivering jobs or relief. Atiku urged a shift in policy focus to restore purchasing power, secure livelihoods and bring real economic reform.
