You can’t light fire of hardship, then blame your neighbours for the smoke – Daily Trust

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has described President Bola Tinubu’s declare that the opposition created starvation and poverty as a shameless try and dodge duty for the “misery his own government has inflicted on Nigerians”.

In an announcement issued by Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku likened the President’s utterance at his marketing campaign rally to a scenario the place an individual units up fire, then turns round to blame his neighbours for the smoke.

“Mr President, blaming the opposition for starvation is both delusion or a staggering case of political amnesia. The APC ruled Nigeria for eight years earlier than you took workplace. You have added one other three and a half years. Nigerians know who has been in energy, and hardship didn’t start when the opposition began speaking about it. Stop insulting their intelligence and reply for your file.
