ATIKU CRITICIZES TINUBU OVER PRIVATE TRIP ABROAD AMID KILLINGS, KIDNAPPINGS IN NIGERIA
President Bola Tinubu has come under fire from former vice president Atiku Abubakar for taking a private trip overseas at a time when the number of murders and kidnappings in the nation is rising.
The country cannot afford another “Tourist-in-Chief,” according to the presidential candidate of the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who has urged the President to resign if he feels overburdened by the post.
He made these comments in a statement that he shared on Tuesday on his verified X-account.
āTinubu 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 N90 million ransom and two monarchs in Ekiti, among other regular tragedies besetting Nigerians.
āIf 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. -AA,ā the former vice president posted.
