•Tinubu’s Aide Challenges Atiku Over Delay In Questioning Lekki Shooting, Says ‘You Visited Buhari Twice And Didn’t Ask’

Olusegun dismissed Atiku’s submission as a cheap political stunt, reminding him of his recent visits to former President Buhari, who was in office during the Lekki incident.

Dada Olusegun, Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, has attacked former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar over his criticism of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government’s handling of the 2020 Lekki Toll Gate shooting and the economic hardship facing Nigerians.

Olusegun, who is also the National Convener of the PBAT Media Centre, accused Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 election, of exploiting the tragedy for political gain and pursuing what he described as an insincere presidential ambition.

In a post on X, Olusegun questioned why Atiku waited six years after the shooting to demand answers from the government, arguing that the former vice-president had opportunities to raise the issue during his visits to former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2024 and 2025.

Atiku had earlier issued a statement titled, "Six Years After Lekki, The APC Still Owes Nigerians Answers And Young People A Future," to mark the sixth anniversary of the incident, where he demanded to know who gave the order to shoot peaceful protesters and criticised the ruling APC for the country's worsening economic hardship.

However, Olusegun dismissed Atiku’s submission as a cheap political stunt, reminding him of his recent visits to former President Buhari, who was in office during the Lekki incident.

"In case you have forgotten, we have not. On the 22nd of June 2024, you visited late former President Buhari in his hometown of Daura,” Olusegun said.

“Less than a year later, on the 11th of April 2025, you visited him again at his retirement home in Kaduna, renovated by President Tinubu.

"Those two opportunities presented you with chances to ask former President Buhari, who was President at the time of the Lekki Toll Gate protests, the questions you are now asking President Tinubu."

He added: "That it took you six years to ask these questions is a testament to your insincerity and desperation to become President. Nigerians are not fools, they know you do not care about them; you only care about your inordinate ambition."

The presidential aide further defended his principal, noting that Tinubu was an ordinary citizen in 2020 and suffered immense personal losses during the protests.

"His Bourdillon home was almost razed, and he and his domestic staff fled for safety. He was harassed, cyberbullied, insulted, and cursed," Olusegun stated.

He also took a swipe at Atiku for using the phrase "Lekki Massacre," claiming that a definitive, legally established massacre remains unproven.

"Forensic evidence and multi-agency investigations heavily contradicting the initial social media casualty figures," he said, adding that twisting the tragedy to pin it on Tinubu, who was a primary financial and political victim of the fallout, was uncharitable.

"Twisting the complex tragedy of 2020 to pin it on a man who was himself a primary financial and political victim of the fallout is uncharitable and mean-spirited,” he said.

“This constant mudslinging is a transparent attempt to dust off your failed 'Economic Recovery Plan' and hijack historical grief for campaign leverage. This is your final attempt at the Presidency of Nigeria, and it is tragic to watch you throw everything against the wall just to see what sticks.”

Are these not the same charlatans that swore that nobody died at the Lekki tollgate? What should Atiku have asked Buhari about when Tinubu and his people claimed "everywhere stew" and that it was fake news. They now believe Buhari has case to answer after gaining power abi?

Politics and hypocrisy are like Siamese twins.

They now agreed that people were kpaid but it wasn't up to massacre level

ceejay80s:

No mind them. Tinubu as an ordinary citizen then can give order to the Chief of Army staff. I like your reasoning jare.

FatimaAbubakar:
Tinubu is the mastermind behind the Lekki tollgate shooting.

Severe Bitterness Doesn’t Allow Obidients To Reason Logically.

Let Obidient Fatimaabubakar continue with his deceit.

FatimaAbubakar:
Tinubu is the mastermind behind the Lekki tollgate shooting.

Yeah. He commanded the Chief of Army staff then abi or he carried gun and started shooting at the protesters?

ceejay80s:
Buhari had no business in lagos.
Tinubu ordered that shooting .

Where would Tinubu go to for a refund since the balablu bulaba clueless town hall clown never went to primary school

FatimaAbubakar:
Tinubu is the mastermind behind the Lekki tollgate shooting.

Do you mean the same way Peter Obi has been responsible for all the crimes being committed in Anambra. Use your brain. God did not give you the brain in vain

FatimaAbubakar:
Tinubu is the mastermind behind the Lekki tollgate shooting.

ceejay80s:
Buhari had no business in lagos.
Tinubu ordered that shooting .
I thought they said no one died?
This country eh

if Tinubu an ordinary citizen can order killings in Lagos, who ordered killings n throwing of corpses in awkuzu river when obi was governor?

Passionate888:
They now agreed that people were kpaid but it wasn't up to massacre level

But here is a clear picture of people your messiah dumped in river but u have nothing to say

Your hypocrisy is second to none

When it comes to Peter Obi gist, make una show me where I go stand make I no hear the discussion.

Lithiumite:

Look at you who has comprehension in English. Did Atiku mentioned Tinubu or he said 6yrs now and the APC hasn't investigated the Lekki shooting.
Or wasn't it APC that was in power then?

Counterigbolies:

Ordinary citizen indeed that puts anyone he wants in Lagos State government house and can tell them to do anything he wants

Na wao! Somebody said since the endsars killings APC is yet to tell us who ordered the shooting. I'm still yet to read where Atiku mentioned Tinubu's name?
Oh, Mr Dada knows Tinubu is APC and APC is Tinubu that's why he's triggered.
And talking about Tinubu running from his Bourdillon house with his domestic staffs (which is a big fat lie, not with all the RRS station at his gate) bcus of the endsars protest, then his hands is not clean. He must have known one or two things about the shooting which was why he was afraid then.

Did Tinubu that installed the dead failure question him?
Soldiers don’t just act without orders ?

FatimaAbubakar:
Tinubu is the mastermind behind the Lekki tollgate shooting.

Hope you don import your lawyers come to defend this tale for you o. You talk like you have the evidences kept somewhere.

Also help us ask Atiku Abubakar why he deleted that tweet about condemning Deborah's death. You should be a family member of Atiku cz your surname gave a hint

Are u people sure that atiku and obi supporters think before they write?
How can an ordinary civilian ordered a soldier to commit massacre in lagos when you have the president as a military man?
So army has stooped so low that ordinary civilian will just order for their truck to commit murder and you expect Buhari a former military man who knows the in and out to keep quite?
Even DANGOTE with his wealth can not just order the military like that.
Guy at least you go school beyond all this I support this and that.. wey the evidence of education. Won ti fowo Jona
