Atiku Abubakar Critiques Tinubu's Response to Borno Attack

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar condemned the recent deadly terrorist attack in Borno State, where approximately 100 residents were reportedly abducted from an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Gwoza Local Government Area. In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Atiku criticized the administration of President Bola Tinubu for allegedly prioritizing political opposition over tackling the rising insecurity in the country.

He described the incident as "deeply troubling" and expressed concern over the federal government's inadequate response to similar attacks, which have contributed to a growing wave of violence nationwide. Atiku accused the current federal government of losing its grip on the fight against terrorism and instead focusing on exerting pressure on political opponents while enabling self-serving ethnic militia groups.

He lamented the disheartening response to internal security issues and the prioritization of consolidating power over protecting vulnerable civilians.
