New Year: Atiku Bombs President Buhari

Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari over his New Year live broadcast.

Reacting to the live broadcast in a series of tweets on Friday, January 1, Abubakar said that laziness from Buhari’s government made the nation suffer multi-facet downcast in the previous year.

In his New Year message, Atiku said the out-gone year was quite dramatic and it was only by the grace of the Almighty God that Nigerians survived to witness the succeeding year. He urged Nigerians not to lose hope in the New Year.

He tweeted: “It is cheering that we are entering the New Year with refreshing news of a handful of certified vaccines against the dreaded COVID-19 virus.

“And better still is news of commencement of vaccination in some parts of the world. I am expectant that the vaccine(s) would soon be available for vaccination in Nigeria. It is also hoped that very soon life would return to normal.”

Abubakar said that the damage that the pandemic had done to lives remained and that it would take some time for the nation to overcome.

As a country, we have taken our share of the blow that Covid-19 dealt to the globe. And worst still, we suffered a multi-facet downcast on account of lazy and uninspiring leadership from the government at the centre – most especially.
