ABUJA: Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has faulted President Bola Tinubu’s aggressive domestic borrowing, questioning why the administration continued to pile up debts despite an estimated ¦ 7.98 trillion windfall from high international crude oil prices.

He also alleged that the President’s administration had finally arrived at a policy direction he first advocated more than two decades ago, after spending nearly three years worsening Nigeria’s electricity crisis through poor planning and misplaced priorities.

In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku, who is the presidential candidate of African Democratic Congress, ADC, described the administration’s economic management as contradictory, opaque and bereft of fiscal discipline.
