While it seems that, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led All Progressives Congress’ government is running out of ideas on how to salvage the badly economic situation in the country, with citizens now lamenting like wounded dogs. The situation has led states, like Kano, Niger and Kogi to protest, as hope seems to have been dashed. The so called Lagos boys in government, as reported in some online newspapers that, they are struggling to understand the difference between Lagos administration and Federal administration, now running from pillar to post on how to help the president restore economic balance and stop the impending and looming danger ahead. This is even as government faces unprecedent insecurity and high rate inflation.
Meanwhile, Sahara reporters reported that former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, former Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi has said that, President Tinubu is running a dry government without idea. The duo in separate X had said :
In a post on X platform, Atiku had said there was hunger in the land as basic commodities, including bread, were becoming out of reach for average Nigerians.

In a post on X platform, Atiku had said there was hunger in the land as basic commodities, including bread, were becoming out of reach for average Nigerians.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, on Tuesday during an interview with Channels TV urged the duo to suggest ideas to Nigerian president, Bola Tinubu and not just condemn what the government was doing to address economic hardship in the country.
He said, “Opposition politics is not necessarily about condemning. These individuals, Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, touted some of the economic policies this government is running with to be at the core of their economic agenda. So what has happened?
“So it is not enough to just condemn, these leaders should be able to, assuming they have the silver bullets this government is not deploying, they point it out.’
“It is not enough for Atiku Abubakar to bandy words. I expect a man who thinks deeply as he claims about governance, economy, and other aspects of our natural life to offer ideas, concrete suggestions,” he added.
SaharaReporters on Tuesday reported that Nigerians including supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on X (formerly Twitter) berated the President Bola Tinubu-led government over the inflation and hardship in the country.
