A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and Director-General of Voice of Nigeria, Osita Okechukwu, on Sunday took a swipe at the proposed economic plan of the presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, saying it would further bring hardship on the masses.
A worried Okechukwu warned that the PDP presidential candidate was subtly striving to reintroduce an economic blueprint that is reminiscent of the unforgettable ‘Structural Adjustment Programme’ that brought about austerity measures in the country.
SAP was a set of economic reforms introduced in Nigeria by then-military President Ibrahim Babangida to secure a loan from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in 1986.
The development is coming five days after Atiku vowed to resuscitate Nigeria’s ailing economy by launching a $10 billion Economic Stimulus Fund within his first 100 days in office once elected.
