Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has strongly criticised President Bola Tinubu over comments suggesting that rising insecurity will not force him out of office, describing the stance as insensitive and disconnected from the realities faced by Nigerians. In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said the remarks were troubling, arguing that they downplay the human cost of ongoing violence across the country. “It is horrifying that the deaths of innocent citizens are reduced to mere political rhetoric,” he said. Concerns Over Security and Leadership Atiku acknowledged that seeking re-election is a constitutional right but insisted that the government has fallen short in its primary responsibility—protecting lives and property. He warned that the scale of insecurity has reached alarming levels, citing estimates that thousands of Nigerians have been killed since 2023, with communities across various regions affected. “These are not just numbers—they are families shattered, communities destroyed, and a nation bleeding,” he stated. Criticism of Government Response The former vice president also faulted what he described as insufficient empathy and response from the government to recent violent incidents, including attacks on communities and places of worship. He argued that declining public trust in the administration stems from lived realities such as: Worsening insecurity Rising cost of living Controversial economic decisions According to him, trust must be earned through performance, not demanded through political messaging. Warning Against Suppressing Dissent Atiku cautioned against any attempts to silence criticism, stressing that public dissatisfaction cannot be dismissed as mere political opposition. “No amount of intimidation or deflection can alter the lived realities of Nigerians,” he said. Call for Action He urged the government to move beyond rhetoric and implement concrete reforms, particularly in the security sector, to address the country’s challenges. “Nigerians do not need bravado—they need protection. They do not need assurances—they need evidence of leadership,” Atiku added. Broader Context The remarks highlight growing political tensions as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections, with opposition figures increasingly scrutinising the government’s handling of security and economic issues. Atiku concluded that ultimately, Nigerians will judge leadership based on outcomes, not statements, emphasising that governance is being tested by the realities citizens face daily. Politics

congratulations 👏 🎉 to Tinubu

Your President and Commander in Chief thinks that the deaths of Nigerians and their loved ones is a ploy to remove him from the office. Same thought Buhari had about END SARS protesters.

Highly Shameful!

Is these not the same 🤡 who couldn't condemn the killing of Deborah?

Hope this one is not going to blame President Tinubu as usual for this

Those opposition leaders now talk without substance

I wonder OOO. He is also same wannabe President who was sipping premium fruit juice in Dubai while failing to utter a word against "death of innocent citizens" under his fellow Fulani Buhari yet he has now found his voice against Tinubu he wants to portray as completely responsible for the terrorism, emanating from the North , Atiku and his fellow Fulani never bothered to proffer solutions for.
