Atiku Abubakar Critiques Security for Tinubu's Billboards

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the ADC, criticized the deployment of security operatives to guard campaign billboards for Bola Tinubu in Kaduna. He expressed concern over the prioritization of campaign materials over the safety of Nigerians, stating, “What a tragic statement of your government’s priorities.” His comments followed reports of security personnel, including members of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the Kaduna State Traffic Law Enforcement Authority, being assigned to protect Tinubu's billboards ahead of a planned campaign rally.

Atiku pointed out that while Tinubu's billboards are secured, many Nigerians live in fear of banditry and terrorism. A security operative confirmed that personnel were deployed to prevent vandalism of campaign materials, particularly at night.

This situation comes after Aminu Sanda was charged with treasonable felony for allegedly damaging Tinubu's billboards, which he denies.
