The grave issues facing the country were emphasized by former vice president and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar. He brought up a recent terrible instance in which a female banker killed herself in a banking hall, blaming it on financial difficulties.
In the course of a Nigeria Economic Summit Group (NESCG) investigation, President Tinubu was asked to clarify his plans for rescuing 128 million Nigerians from poverty—a situation that his party has been blamed for. In response, Tinubu said he was worried about other candidates adopting his method and refused to share it.
A credible report from The Sun quoted him saying, “Just last month, a female banker tragically ended her life in a banking hall due to economic hardship. Indeed, as Proverbs 29, verse 2 suggests: When the righteous lead, the people rejoice; but when the wicked govern, the people endure. This encapsulates Nigeria’s current predicament, where life is harsh, brief, and unpleasant.”
“When the Nigeria Economic Summit Group asked him last year to explain how he would pull out over 128 million Nigers out of the poverty that his political party, the APC, had plunged them into, Tinubu responded by saying that he would not reveal his strategy because he didn’t want the other candidates to steal his plan”.
