The former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has lambasted President Bola Tinubu over his failure to curb the security crisis in Nigeria.
Atiku, who was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2023 general elections, stated this while reacting to the recent surge in the kidnapping and killing of unsuspecting citizens across the nation.
In a post on his official X on Tuesday, Atiku wondered why the Tinubu embarked on a private visit to France amid the ravaging banditry and other security issues bedevilling the nation.
He said: “Tinubu is playing fiddle while Nigeria is drowning in the ocean of insecurity. Imagine that the Commander-in-Chief is on a so-called private visit.
“At the same time, 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.”
CRUX NEWS reports that President Tinubu had last Wednesday departed the country to France on a private visit.
