Atiku Abubakar tackles President Tinubu for going on private visit while insecurity persists

Former PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has berated President Tinubu for travelling on a private visit to France when insecurity is on the increase across the country.

In a statement released on his X handle, Atiku said President Tinubu is playing fiddle while Nigeria is drowning. He asked the President to step down if he feels the shoes are too big for him to fill. 

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.''
