Tinubu has made Buhari a saint — Atiku’s aide

Demola Olarewaju, Special Assistant on Digital Media Strategy to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has issued a severe critique of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's government. Olarewaju declared that the severe economic difficulties currently plaguing Nigeria have inadvertently cast former President Muhammadu Buhari in a favorable light, making him "look like a saint."

In an interview, Olarewaju elaborated on the extent of the economic hardship, implying that the current administration's policies or their outcomes have led to a situation far worse than previously experienced. The comparison suggests a deep disappointment among segments of the population with the direction of the country under Tinubu's leadership. The statement serves as a potent indictment of the current economic climate, drawing a stark contrast with the preceding administration, which itself faced considerable criticism for its economic management.

This assessment from Abubakar's aide highlights a significant political narrative emerging from Nigeria, where the performance of the current government is being measured against the perceived failures or successes of its predecessor. The framing of Buhari as a "saint" in comparison to the current situation underscores the intensity of public discontent and the challenges facing the Tinubu administration in addressing the nation's economic woes.
