PRESS STATEMENT

“Nigeria First” Policy: Trade Your Escalade for Innoson Motors — Atiku

The Tinubu istration’s latest “Nigeria First” mantra, paraded through the Federal Executive Council, is nothing but another tired PR stunt—designed to deceive, not deliver. Nigerians have grown weary of hollow speeches. If this government is truly serious about local content and economic patriotism, it must start at the very top.

We challenge President Tinubu to stop the noise and trade in his beloved Escalade for an Innoson, Nord or any made-in-Nigeria car.[/b]That single act will do more to promote local industry than a thousand policy memos. [b]Let’s see the ministers—those shameless Rolls Royce connoisseurs—sweat it out in Nigerian-made vehicles too. Or is “Nigeria First” only for the masses?

And speaking of double standards, it’s time Mr. President shelves his love affair with Paris and London. If he’s serious about patriotism, his next vacation should be at Obudu Cattle Ranch, Yankari Game Reserve, or Erin Ijesha Waterfalls. Nigeria is beautiful—unless, of course, the President thinks otherwise.

More importantly, the era of jetting off for medical tourism while preaching self-reliance must end. We demand that President Tinubu—champion of “Nigeria First”—conduct all future medical check-ups at LUTH, National Hospital Abuja, UCH Ibadan, or even the #41 billion Naira Akwa Ibom world-class hospital built by uncommon transformer, in Uyo. If these hospitals are good enough for ordinary Nigerians, they should be good enough for their Commander-in-Chief. Anything less is sheer hypocrisy.

This government’s addiction to foreign luxuries while demanding sacrifice from suffering Nigerians is the height of insincerity. True leadership isn’t photo-ops or soundbites—it’s setting the tone by example.

Nigeria deserves real commitment, not this never-ending charade.

Atiku Abubakar (Vice President of Nigeria 1999–2007)

"Let’s see the ministers—those shameless Rolls Royce connoisseurs—sweat it out in Nigerian-made vehicles too."

Atiku is NOT a smart guy. He also DOESN'T know how to hire smart guys.

Of all the shittiness he could attack the FAILED Tinubu Government for, he chose a BEER PARLOUR argument of extremely DUMB whataboutism.

He uses "sweat it out in Nigeria-made vehicles" which implies he knows that Nigerian vehicles are not yet up to the standard of their foreign counterparts.

YET Atiku thinks it's a good idea for the President of a POLITICALLY-VOLATILE country such as Nigeria to use it as his official car in a PERFORMATIVE attempt to pacify a PERENNIAL loser like Atiku.

Atiku is NOT a smart guy.

Atiku don't need this kind of desperation.

Or is Atiku saying he's having problem growing Nigeria local products

Dubai landlord don talk o. Na him sissy lackey Peter Obi go follow.

250 million people and all the cars are imported.

Not even a single assembling plant in Nigeria.

President gets on air to shout "Nigeria First"

Then drives off in his American "Chevrolet Escalade"

Closely followed by his FCT Minister in his British Rolls Royce Ghost

Time for Medicals he gets on an "French Airbus private Jet, to go to French hospitals, to see French Doctors"

Once he is stronger....He comes back to Nigeria and shouts "Nigeria First" to Nigerians.

ATIKU trying very hard to get the correct IPOB mumu bottom 🤣 ATIKU please try again

AdesegunSanni89:
Dubai landlord don talk o. Na him sissy lackey Peter Obi go follow.

u r obviously silly.....u guys will always drag Obi even when he's not in ur league....oga come out in full force n attack Atiku....cowards

AdesegunSanni89:
Dubai landlord don talk o. Na him sissy lackey Peter Obi go follow.

and the agbero chairman you touts and agbero union smuggled into asorock can't lead by example

Atiku made dis statement n someone up there is dragging Obi....what is wrong with dis people sef?

And to think this is coming from an Atiku that lives in Dubai and only return to Nigeria to contest elections. Atiku wants to rule Nigeria by all possible means but does not find Nigeria good enough to live in. His hypocrisy is just so embarrassing.

Good but, is Atiku himself driving Innoson

Tinubu has nothing to offer this country. Know this and know peace

"Nigeria First", no reach that side o.😂😂😂

Lol. Good point but tinubu said from this point onwards.

Anyone ing this thief to take over is a thief and fool at the same time.

Atiku is right here,our leaders should lead by exammple

Epic reply

This bàbà is beginning to sound inebriated.
Is there any car manufacturing company in Nigeria? Name one.

Gibberish, Atiku has nothing to offer, I wonder the type of people ing him to become president

That's if they will not 'Ipoblize' Innoson.

This Nigeria opposition looks somehow and i think that how it will be to end of Time. Can we just good thing by the Goverment instead of condemning it and be looking for Gibberish things to say.

The Druggie won't try that


The Nigeria first bill is for the poor


When him come down from he sign some yeye bills to deceive his social media charlatans and next he will return to for treatment

The agbero president cannot leading by example.
Nigeria also produces good doctors and health officials can he ban foreign health tourism.

Tinubu is a criminal. He's very deceptive and corrupt.

Atiku should show us his innoson vehicles

We know he's a hypocrite, but let's give him a benefit of the doubt though and hope he will ditch his French hospitals for those in Abuja or Lagos.
