President Bola Tinubu says Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), is ignorant about economic realities of the country.
The president said this while reacting to Atiku’s promise to restore fuel subsidy if elected president in 2027.
“I saw one of my opponents now say he will go back to subsidy. I read it. That is a demonstration of serious ignorance on governance and the economy.
“Before I came here, 27 states were unable to pay salaries, not to talk of pensioners. Workers were owed salaries, while state governments depended on the Federal Government and were unable to do much,” he said when he hosted Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, on Thursday.
