After the tragic assassination of two monarchs in Ekiti by terrorists yesterday, the 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, lamented the alarming insecurity plaguing the nation, nearly rendering it defenseless.
He urged Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu to step aside if unable to avert the country’s imminent collapse, adding that the former Lagos State Governor can not be on a private visit while kidnappers are killing citizens back home.
Expressing his sentiments on Twitter, he condemned Tinubu’s passive and negligent stance towards halting or mitigating the rampant killings nationwide.
He said, “Tinubu is playing fiddle while Nigeria is drowning in the ocean of insecurity. To imagine that the Commander-in-Chief is on a so-called private visit while kidnappers kill a nursing mother and grandmother in Abuja for failing to pay N90m ransom and two monarchs in Ekiti, among other regular tragedies besetting Nigerians.
