Otunba Segun Showunmi, the Chief Promoter of the Alternative Movement, has launched a mobilisation programme to support Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid. In a recent statement, Showunmi took aim at Atiku Abubakar’s proposed subsidy policy, stating that it would take Nigeria back rather than moving the country forward.
According to THISDAYLIVE, Showunmi argued that Atiku’s plan, if implemented, would plunge Nigeria into economic hardship akin to Egypt’s. This assertion comes as Tinubu’s administration continues its efforts to address the nation’s persistent fuel crisis.
Showunmi’s criticism of Atiku’s subsidy proposal adds another dimension to the ongoing political discourse in Nigeria, as both candidates prepare for the 2027 elections. The former Vice-President has not yet responded to Showunmi’s remarks.
This story highlights the growing tension between the two leading presidential contenders and the potential economic implications of their proposed policies.
