Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar expresses concern over the increasing insecurity during President Bola Tinubu’s tenure, urging him to step down if he cannot effectively address the issue. Despite losing to Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election, Atiku accuses the President of neglecting the security challenges facing the nation.
“If the shoes are too big for Emilokan, he should step aside. Nigeria does not need another Tourist-in-Chief,” the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain added. “The country needs 24/7 leadership to confront the pervasive insecurity and collapsing economy,” he said in a post on his X handle on Tuesday, recalling the various kidnapping episodes in several parts of Nigeria.
“Tinubu is playing fiddle while Nigeria is drowning in the ocean of insecurity,” Atiku wrote.
“To imagine that the Commander-in-Chief is on a so-called private visit while kidnappers kill a nursing mother and grandmother in Abuja for failing to pay N90m ransom and two monarchs in Ekiti, among other regular tragedies besetting Nigerians.”
Assuming office last year, President Tinubu pledged to address Nigeria’s security challenges, encompassing jihadist threats in the North-East, criminal militias in the North-West, and intercommunal violence in central states.
However, critics argue that the kidnapping crisis, a major concern, is escalating beyond control. The president intends to tackle the underlying causes through educational initiatives. Experts attribute the persistence of violence to impunity, inadequate security, and a lack of widespread government presence.
