Atiku Critiques Tinubu's Insensitive Plateau Visit

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar expressed deep concern regarding President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's recent visit to Plateau State, which occurred on a Thursday. He described the visit as troubling and indicative of a pattern of detachment from the suffering of Nigerians.

Atiku criticized Tinubu for only assessing the situation from the plane and not engaging with the affected communities, which he deemed insensitive given the recent gruesome killings. He highlighted that the visit was hurried and lacked genuine outreach to the victims' families or the injured.

Atiku pointed out that this approach mirrors Tinubu's previous conduct during a condolence visit to Benue State in June 2025. He argued that the president's actions reflect a troubling habit of prioritizing political optics over meaningful engagement with citizens in their darkest hours.

Atiku concluded that Nigerians do not require mere ceremonial visits but rather effective governance and security measures to ensure their safety and well-being.
