Political tension is rising again as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken a bold swipe at former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in a viral statement.
In the trending video, Tinubu accused Atiku of being deeply involved in the privatization of major national assets during his time in office.
He specifically mentioned the controversial Ajaokuta Steel Company, suggesting that key decisions made back then are still being questioned today.
Tinubu didn’t stop there. He also alleged that Atiku once tried to exert control over a political party but was resisted, a claim that has sparked fresh debate online.
Despite the sharp criticism, the President insisted he would not be distracted by opposition attacks. According to him, his main focus remains governance and improving the lives of Nigerians.
The statement has divided opinions, with supporters backing Tinubu’s claims while others defend Atiku.
As the political drama unfolds, one question remains. Is this just political talk or the beginning of a bigger battle ahead of 2027?
The video can be viewed on the linked X post, with the highlighted remarks appearing around the 8:05 to 8:35 mark.
