The Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the 2023 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar has criticized President Tinubu for neglecting the escalating security challenges in Nigeria.
In a statement posted on his official social media page on Tuesday, Atiku expressed his deep concerns, accusing Tinubu of turning a blind eye to the country’s worsening insecurity.
Atiku further suggested that if Tinubu is incapable of effectively governing the country, he should step aside.
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. -AA”
