Atiku Abubakar Urges Action Against Nigeria's Insecurity

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar condemned the increasing violent attacks across Nigeria and called for urgent action from the federal government to address the escalating insecurity. He criticized President Bola Tinubu's recent comments comparing Nigeria's fuel prices to those in other African countries, asserting that the Nigerian economy is worse off despite claims of lower petrol prices.

Atiku expressed condolences to victims of violence, emphasizing that the government must prioritize the protection of lives and property. His statement comes amid a fresh wave of deadly attacks, including a coordinated assault in Borno State that resulted in the deaths of soldiers and ongoing threats from Boko Haram and its splinter groups.

Atiku acknowledged the support of state governments in combating terrorism but stressed the need for sustained international cooperation. He expressed optimism that Nigeria can overcome its challenges, while also highlighting the deteriorating economic conditions faced by citizens.
