Tuesday, November 12, 2024 -The 2023 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has called out President Bola Tinubu.
Atiku accused Tinubu of playing politics with insecurity by
appointing his kinsmen to top security positions.
Atiku was reacting to the emergence of a new terrorist
organization, Lakurawa, in the Northwestern part of Nigeria.
He said that with the recurrent grid collapse in the North due to
criminal activities, Tinubu should focus more on improving security, which is a “sine
qua non for investments.”
In a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communication,
Phrank Shaibu, Atiku described as “unfortunate” the announcement by the
military authorities on the emergence of a new terror organization known as
Lakurawa.
He noted that “the President had
decided to play politics with security by appointing his kinsmen in top
security and economic positions.”
“Even on the economy, he put his kinsmen in every key position,
beginning from finance minister, trade and investment, CBN, customs, and FIRS.
Even President Muhammadu Buhari was not this brazen. Unlike Tinubu, Atiku is
not a bigot. He has also not refunded money to the United States for alleged
drug trafficking.
“Despite a huge revenue challenge, Tinubu commits over $13bn to the
controversial Lagos-Calabar coastal highway, rendering scores of Lagos
residents homeless just to please his associates while other pressing matters
are starved of funds.”
Atiku advised the president to “make hay
while the sun shines,” as Nigerians are tired of his administration.
