Atiku Abubakar Critiques Tinubu on Nigeria's Insecurity

Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, lamented the worsening insecurity in Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu's administration. He referenced the recent death of retired Major General Abubakar Rabe, who was abducted by bandits, as a painful reminder of the vulnerability faced by Nigerians.

Atiku described Rabe's death as tragic, highlighting the ongoing threat of banditry and terrorism in the country. He pointed out that Rabe's ordeal is not an isolated incident, as other senior military officers have also faced similar fates.

The former Vice President emphasized that the recent attack on schools in Chibok, which included the burning of educational facilities, reignited painful memories of the 2014 abduction of 270 schoolgirls. He called for a state of emergency to effectively combat the rampant insecurity, urging the government to take decisive action rather than relying on rhetoric.
