Former Nigeria's vice-president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has taken to his verified Facebook page to lambast and lampoon president Bola Tinubu on the ongoing security challenges bedeviling the Nation and Tinubu's insensitivity to the plight of many Nigerians who are casualties of this insecurity. In his words, The former vice-president wrote:

"The Tinubu administration has proven, time and again, to be utterly incapable, wholly incompetent, and completely devoid of any coherent ideas for tackling Nigeria’s deepening security crisis. This is not just my position — it is a growing consensus among political opposition leaders, respected security experts, and even members within the ruling party who, though too timid to speak publicly, confess this uncomfortable truth behind closed doors.

The blood of innocent Nigerians continues to be spilled with appalling regularity—most recently in the Logo and Gbagir communities of Ukum LGA in Benue State. Yet, the Tinubu presidency remains disturbingly indifferent, displaying neither urgency nor the basic decency of public empathy.

Leadership demands presence. In 2016, President Barack Obama cut short an important diplomatic visit to return home after five police officers were killed in a lone gunman attack. In 2019, President Cyril Ramaphosa abandoned a state visit to Egypt to return to South Africa amid an electricity crisis. Even U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, heavily criticized for fleeing to Mexico during a deadly winter storm in Texas, eventually returned and acknowledged his mistake.

In our own history, President Goodluck Jonathan returned from Equatorial Guinea in 2014 following a deadly bomb blast in Abuja. That is the expected minimum in moments of national trauma.

Yet President Bola Tinubu, incapable of solving Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, chooses instead to gallivant across Europe — governing Nigeria in absentia as if from a holiday perch. If he cannot act, the least he can do is show up. If he cannot lead with empathy, he should at least attempt the performance of it. Nigeria is bleeding. Nigerians are dying. The president is nowhere to be found.

My heartfelt condolences go to the people and Government of Benue State. We stand with you in grief and in solidarity.

An inept administration may not suddenly discover competence. But we will not stop calling it out. If Tinubu cannot deliver safety and dignity to Nigerians, the very least he can do is pretend to care —regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political affiliation.

Evidence is everywhere

Atiku is a clown.

Atiku should stop being petty. He can't be attacking president Tinubu for no reason all the time.

This was very direct and blunt. Let's see if Onanuga will open his mouth and yap at Atiku to “watch his mouth,” or if he’ll slither back into his usual role as the spineless chameleon, licking the boots of convenience.

Coming from someone who almost sold Nigeria.

Reno go reply am..


Doge dey here...

Serious

Kojoli is in pains.

Just like u when u were VP…..

Atiku self get problem.

How person wey lose election woefully go dey criticize another person? Is it not a case of the pot calling the kettle black? This one na mental issue be that.

see someone that has idea but cannot find his way back to aso rock after spending 8years there before.

Atiku can’t be better than Tinubu, he single handedly destroyed PDP due to his greed and lacking of foresight.

Simple diplomatic agreement, he failed to honor. How can you emerged as PDP Presidential candidate from the Northern region and still want PDP national Chairman to remain a Northerner?

He’s not a Unifier as he claimed and he can’t be a better President.

I trust Wike, he’s patiently waiting for him.

I don’t even know the following words will came out today when I was wetting yesterday.

Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), says Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023, does not honour agreements.

If you finally get there hope you'll do better?

Why is Reno Omokri not talking his fact check bullshit...
Because it's Atiku he has lost his words.
Reno food has been served, please come out and talk

This your statement shows you are insensitive to the communities in crisis. Politics apart Are these killings not enough reason to talk ?

LoL

Tinubu said worse things about Jonathan now he is in power.
He is doing 5 times worse than Jona

Atiku is definitely the next president of Nigeria and will run till 2035. That's definitely an irony

when buhari was there, atiku kept quiet

frog12:
when buhari was there, atiku kept quiet

As him brother from another mother

I doubt if Atiku can say this if he gets to meet Tinubu one on one, you see the two of them laughing.

The main issue with Atiku is that he has no evidence of performance in politics. He was not a state governor. As VP he failed woefully in economic management. All the entities he privatized are worse. I wish it will be possible for Atiku to rule for just six months it would have been interesting to see what all these chochocho will result to.

For the first time, I am liking Atiku for being bold. He is the only opposing politician in Nigeria that is giving Tinubu raw watowato everytime.

Peter Obi is always mild, seemingly afraid and curny with use of his words, even at critical situations.

The only thing that makes me so scared of Atiku are his thievery tendencies.

Salute to him on this one.

Yesb

Tinubu is a failure


Give 30yrs to rule this country, nothing will change.


He thought bold leadership is taxing the people.

Atiku na oloriburuku. This Basterd is one of the politicians sponsoring killings across the country.

The economy is in a disaster so I agree completely.
