The Tinubu Media Support Group (TMSG) has described the frequent criticism of President Bola Tinubu by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as a sign of frustration.
The group in a statement issued Tuesday by its Chairman, Jesutega Onokpasa said this was especially so because Tinubu was able to achieve at one attempt what Atiku as spent 32 unsuccessful years struggling for.
It added that it was not surprised that Atiku was dabbling into all sorts of national issues in order to be politically relevant for yet another bid for the Presidency.
The group stressed that while it ia his fundamental right to offer his views in a bid to trade tackle and test 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.
It noted that 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.
The group added that it was time for Abubakar to cast aside what it described as his obsession with deceitful politics and adopt a more statesmanly role like past occupants of his former position in government.
It stressed: “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.”
The group said it was 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.
It noted that for Atiku, it was redemption time, saying the rush to remain relevant ahead 2027 has consumed so much that he now dabbles on issues that don’t even concern him.
It stressed that to make matters worse for his handlers and his fast-depleted followers, his rationality has taken flight, while his statesmanship in the marketplace is fast losing value.
