President Tinubu faced criticism for not acknowledging the victims of the Plateau terrorist attacks in his New Year Address, delivered via a recorded broadcast. Dr. Reuben Abati, expressing concern on Arise TV, highlighted the speech's lack of contemporaneity, suggesting it was recorded before the president arrived in Lagos. Abati deemed the omission of the Plateau killings "scandalous" and reflective of negligence by those managing the president.
The commentary emphasized the need for leaders to stay informed and address pressing issues promptly, especially in the face of recent developments like the tragic events in Plateau.
