Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, a prominent figure of the Peoples Democratic Party, issued a scathing critique of President Bola Tinubu's government regarding the recent surge in kidnappings across the country.
In a statement on Friday, Abubakar expressed deep concern over Boko Haram's abduction of over 200 individuals from a Borno IDP camp and the kidnapping of more than 250 students in Kaduna.
He accused the APC-controlled government of failing to address the fundamental needs expected of a responsive administration, labeling it a clear governance failure.
Atiku denounced Tinubu for what he perceived as empty promises and criticized the government's approach to the escalating insecurity, characterizing it as neglectful and relying on rhetorical reforms.
The former vice president highlighted the worsening state of insecurity in Nigeria, portraying the nation as increasingly terrorized under Tinubu's leadership.
Despite Tinubu condemning the abductions and expressing confidence in the security agencies to rescue victims, Atiku's statements underscore growing political tensions surrounding the security challenges gripping the nation
