Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised President Bola Tinubu over his reported absence from campaign rallies in some states, saying he cannot seek another four-year term while relying on governors, ministers and defectors to defend the hardship Nigerians have endured over the past three and a half years.

Atiku’s position was contained in a statement issued on Thursday by Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council.

Atiku said Tinubu should account for his first term before asking Nigerians to renew his mandate.

He accused Tinubu of relying on political allies to defend his administration rather than personally addressing Nigerians’ concerns.
