Atiku Abubakar, the former PDP Presidential candidate, criticized President Tinubu for embarking on a private visit to France amid escalating insecurity nationwide.
Atiku, in a statement on his social media handle, accused President Tinubu of neglecting the country’s security challenges, stating that he is playing the fiddle while Nigeria is in crisis. Atiku called on President Tinubu to consider stepping down if he finds the responsibilities overwhelming.
He wrote;
‘’Tinubu is playing fiddle while Nigeria is drowning in the ocean of insecurity. 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. If the shoes are too big for Emilokan, he should step aside. Nigeria does not need another Tourist-in-Chief. The country needs 24/7 leadership to confront the pervasive insecurity and collapsing economy.”
