The Presidency has taken a swipe at opposition figures in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), including former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, ex-Anambra State governor Peter Obi, former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal, following Nigeria’s external reserves reaching $41 billion.
The four politicians, key players in the newly formed ADC, have recently criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, arguing that its economic reforms have yet to make a meaningful difference for Nigerians.
In a statement shared on Facebook, presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga attributed the milestone to prudent economic management rather than external factors.
“This achievement comes even as oil prices decline. It reflects careful and strategic stewardship of the nation’s finances by President Bola Tinubu,” he said.
Onanuga also targeted the opposition for failing to recognise the government’s efforts. “Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai, and Babachir Lawal remain fixated on their political ambitions to unseat Bola Tinubu.
Their campaign has blinded them to the real progress being made across multiple sectors,” he added.
The ADC coalition, positioning itself as a formidable opposition ahead of the 2027 general elections, has intensified criticism of the APC government, particularly on economic policies and national development.
Despite the attacks, the government continues to celebrate the growth of Nigeria’s foreign reserves, framing it as proof of financial stability and sound economic planning under President Tinubu’s leadership.
