Atiku asks Tinubu to quit over private foreign trip, says Nigeria doesn’t need another Tourist-in-Chief

 

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised President Bola Tinubu on his private trip to France.

He urged President Tinubu to step aside if the shoes of governance had become too big for him.

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Part in the 2023 elections stated this on his X handle @atiku, on Tuesday.

He mocked the President for embarking on a ‘private’ foreign trip at a time when the nation’s capital, Abuja, and other parts of the country appear to be at the mercy of armed kidnapping gangs.

Atiku said, “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 N90m 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.”
