Your Statements, Reflection Of Your Deep Frustration With Tinubu For Achieving What You Spent 32 Years On-TMSG Tells Atiku

The Tinubu Media Support Group (TMSG) on Tuesday, March 19, lambasted former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over his spate of unwarranted press statements against President Bola Tinubu in recent times.

The group said Atiku’s statements were a reflection of his deep frustration with Tinubu for achieving at one attempt, what he (Atiku) spent 32 unsuccessful years struggling for.

A statement by the chairman of the pro-Tinubu media group, Jesutega Onokpasa in Abuja, said it was not surprising that the former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is dabbling into all sorts of national issues to be politically relevant for yet another bid for the presidency.

The statement read: “While it is his fundamental right to offer his views in a bid to trade tackle and test President Bola Tinubu-led government in the marketplace of ideas, he betrays reason and stands logic on its head with hollow, irrational, and poorly-researched so-called solutions.

“And as informed Nigerians still rate him for who he is- a political hustler with ill-digested, hare-brained ideas- he has added another by mooning around the National Assembly, specifically at the Senate where one of their own erred.

“A scrutiny of the vice president’s recent rapid press releases revealed his inner frustrations and perspiration in the face of silent successes as a result of major interventions by the Federal Government confirmed recently by leading local investors and global financial institutions such as Moody and Goldman Sachs

“These feats are the fallout of the President’s single-minded pursuit and unwavering commitment to alleviating current economic hardship of the Nigerian people through rigorous thinking out of the box, an attribute which is second nature to the former Lagos State governor as a bold and courageous problem solver.

“It is not the President’s fault that the recent foiled coup in the Senate did not only nail its ring leader, Senator Abdul Ningi but blew in their faces in broad daylight.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the fate that befell Abdul Ningi and his co-travellers was foretold and avoidable. As a ranking parliamentarian who is believed to know budget process matters well, he knew what he was up against hence he has no one to blame for hitting the canvass.

“And now that former vice president Atiku Abubakar has taken another job to peddle the lies of padding on the hollow pretext of interrogating the parliament on the allegation of the N3.7 trillion padding, we wish him well.

It further stated: “What becomes obvious about the convoluted posturing of the former vice president in recent weeks is his almost-feverish craze to graze on matters he has a scant idea so he gets lost in the maze, hence his resort to such grand opacity that often interrogates his trajectory and collateral damage to the dignity and integrity of the exalted office he once occupied.

“For former vice president Atiku Abubakar, it is redemption time. The rush to remain relevant ahead of 2027 has consumed so much that he now dabbles on issues that don’t even concern him. To make matters worse for his handlers and his fast-depleted followers, his rationality has taken flight. Logic has lost its lure. His statesmanship, in the marketplace, is fast losing value.”

The group then advised Atiku that it was time for him to cast aside what it described as his obsession with deceitful politics and adopt a more statesmanlike role like past occupants of his former position in government.
