Femi Adesina has said that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is part of the rot the nation has become and cannot wash his hands clean of what Nigeria has now become.
Adesina said this while reacting to recent comments made by Atiku over the worsening rate of unemployment in Nigeria and for saying that Nigeria is fast degenerating to a failed state.
Adesina said “The former Vice President was in power for eight years. Now, he is in opposition to the government. You can’t take whatever he says as the gospel. It can’t be. The question is when the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar was in government with President Olusegun Obasanjo, where did they take the country? Where did they leave the country? There are clips. I have seen myself on social media where he was saying some things they promised to do particularly on the power that some people collected trillions and didn’t deliver and the interviewer asked him if they went after them and he said unfortunately, we didn’t go after them. So, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar was part of the rot this country became. He can’t exculpate himself. He cannot sit in judgment over anybody. He played his part for eight years and they left the country where they left it. He can’t like Pontius Pilate, begin to wash his hands clean of what Nigeria has become”
