Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has been cautioned against negative assumptions about the economy in the face of the various positive reforms instituted by the administration.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement in Abuja, said the claims by Atiku on the decisions taken at the last meeting between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the state Governors was misconstrued and not a true representation of what transpired.
The statement stated that the PDP presidential candidate also failed to prescribe a better policy option to what the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN Governor, Olayemi Cardoso, and his team are executing at the Apex Bank.
Onanuga also explained that the meeting established a nexus between the state of security and the rising cost of food as well as how hoarders are warehousing food, creating artificial scarcity and creating high cost of food items.
