Nigeria drowns in ocean of insecurity while Tinubu fiddles in France - Atiku laments, advising president to step aside

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, has fired a shot at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, accusing him of fiddling away in France while Nigeria drowns in the ocean of insecurity.

Atiku regretted that at a time kidnappers killed a nursing mother and grandmother in Abuja for failing to pay N90m ransom and two monarchs in Ekiti, among other regular tragedies besetting Nigerians, the commander-in-chief was showing signs that the shoe was too big for him. He advised Tinubu to quit if he couldn’t handle the situation.

Atiku, in a post on X, said the leadership Nigeria requires is one that will 24/7 tackle the challenges buffeting the country.

The post reads: “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.”
