Atiku Slams Tinubu Over Pardons to Criminals in Nigeria

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar strongly condemns President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's decision to grant presidential pardons to individuals convicted of serious crimes in Nigeria. Atiku describes the move as a moral failure that erodes public trust in leadership and undermines justice.

Tinubu's decision to extend clemency to individuals convicted of drug trafficking, kidnapping, murder, and corruption is seen as insensitive and dangerous to the nation's stability and international reputation. Atiku expresses alarm over the high percentage of pardons for drug-related offenses, criticizing the action as detrimental to Nigerian youth and the fight against drug-related crimes.
