Atiku Warns Workers Bear Brunt of Tinubu’s Economic Reforms

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar says this Workers’ Day is defined by hardship, not celebration. He accuses President Tinubu’s policies of deepening the burden on ordinary Nigerians. He acknowledges that removing the fuel subsidy was inevitable but criticises the rollout as hasty and unstructured. He points out that transport, food, and basic goods have become unaffordable without any wage increase or support. Atiku questions where the trillions saved from subsidy removal have gone, noting that ordinary Nigerians see no improvement in their lives. He calls for transparent management of public funds. He urges the government to adopt people-centred reforms, including wage adjustments, targeted social interventions, and more investment in healthcare and education. He stands in solidarity with Nigerian workers, warning that resilience must not be mistaken for endless endurance.
