Atiku lashes out at Tinubu after 47 Nigerians are killed in Plateau, saying incompetence is fueling insecurity nationwide. Read the full explosive statement.
…. “Nigerians Are Dying Daily Because Tinubu Has Failed” – Atiku Explodes Over Plateau Killings
Former Vice President and 2023 PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has come down hard on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, accusing him of gross incompetence and describing his government as a “complete failure” following the gruesome killings of scores of Nigerians in Plateau State.
Atiku, in a no-holds-barred statement posted on his verified Facebook page, expressed outrage over the murder of at least 47 innocent citizens in Zike Community, Kwali District of Bassa LGA, Plateau State. The incident, which came just days after a similar bloodbath in Bokkos LGA, is part of what the former Vice President called “a frightening collapse of security under Tinubu’s watch.”
“It is regrettable and entirely unacceptable that these Nigerians had to lose their lives as a result of the incompetence of the Tinubu-led administration,” Atiku stated. “President Tinubu has failed these citizens and continues to fail them.”
He didn’t stop there. Atiku also cited worsening terrorist activities in Borno State, referencing troubling comments from both Governor Babagana Zulum and the Shehu of Borno, who admitted the state was steadily losing lives and territory to insurgents.
“Tinubu Can Chase Political Enemies, But Can’t Prosecute Terrorists” – Atiku Fires
The PDP stalwart pointed to the federal government’s total lack of urgency in dealing with arrested terrorists, revealing that some suspects detained since 2016 remain untried.
“If the same level of urgency and energy were devoted to prosecuting terrorists as we’ve seen used against political critics, Nigeria would have sent a clear message that crime has consequences,” he argued.
In a direct swipe at Tinubu’s priorities, Atiku labeled the government’s security policy a “total collapse”, while condemning Nigeria’s inability to prevent cross-border incursions as a “national disgrace.”
He then challenged the Attorney General of the Federation to prioritize the prosecution of terror suspects and called on the National Assembly to pass urgent legislation empowering state governments to equip their security outfits with modern arms.
“Condemnation after the fact is not enough. The people cannot continue to pay the price for government failures. What we need is proactive, preventive action,” Atiku declared.
As outrage builds across the country, the question remains: Can Tinubu defend his presidency against these deadly accusations, or has Nigeria truly slipped into a security coma under his leadership?
