Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has called on President Bola Tinubu to resign amid the growing spate of insecurity in the country.
Atiku, in a statement on his verified X handle on Tuesday, condemned Tinubu for embarking on a private visit to Paris, France, when the nation is “drowning in an ocean of insecurity.”
The Chronicle NG reports that Tinubu embarked on a private visit to Paris, France.
While lamenting over the murder of a nursing mother and a grandmother for failing to pay ransom to her abductors, the Wazirin Adamawa noted that Tinubu should resign because ”Nigeria does not need another tourist-in-chief.”
Atiku‘s statement reads, “Tinubu is playing fiddle while Nigeria is drowning in the ocean of insecurity.
“To imagine that the Commander-in-Chief is on a so-called private visit while kidnappers kill a nursing mother and grandmother in Abuja for failing to pay a N90 million ransom and two monarchs in Ekiti, among other regular tragedies besetting Nigerians,.
“If the shoes are too big for Emilokan, he should step aside. Nigeria does not need another tourist-in-chief.
”The country needs 24/7 leadership to confront the pervasive insecurity and collapsing economy.”
