- Atiku accused President Bola Tinubu of exacerbating the economic burden, citing rising costs for food, transportation, rent, and electricity that have degraded living conditions for many Nigerians.
- The former Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate stated young people "should be selling their ideas, talents and innovation to the world" rather than their body organs to survive.
