Atiku Abubakar reacted to the Federal Government’s suspension of the proposed increase in WAEC and NECO registration fees, according to the supplied reports. One account says the comments were issued in a statement by his spokesperson, Phrank Shaibu, on Monday; another says Atiku’s response criticized the Tinubu government’s policy reversals.[1][2]

Competing descriptions of the reaction

The two reports agree on the central event: Atiku spoke after the government suspended the fee hike. They differ on how the reaction was framed. Daily Post said the statement came through Shaibu, while Legit.ng described it as a criticism of the administration’s policy direction.[1][2]

What the reports do and do not say

Based on the supplied documents, the precise language of Atiku’s remarks is not fully reproduced in either report. The available material only establishes that he responded to the suspension of the fee increase, and that one outlet linked the response to his spokesman while the other emphasized political criticism.[1][2]
