Insecurity: Atiku’s Comments Reckless – Presidency 

Federal government has described as “reckless” the statement by ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar asking the President to step aside over rising killings and kidnappings in Nigeria.

In a statement, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga said President  Tinubu is on top of the security situation in Nigeria.

The statement reads: “fiddling amidst some security and economic challenges is to say the least, reckless” and “fell short of what is expected from an elder statesman”.

“We like to believe that Alhaji Atiku is still not nursing the hangover of his electoral defeat and now latches on to any issue to attack President Tinubu.

“President Tinubu did not travel without informing Nigerians of his whereabouts. He announced a private visit to France and announced a return date.

“While in France, President Tinubu has been following developments at home and he is on top of the situation in the country. Today’s inauguration of the Tripartite Committee on National Minimum wage bore his imprimatur

“He is in constant touch with his officials and security chiefs and has directed them to stamp out every form of criminality in the country,” 

“If Alhaji Atiku is really concerned about security issues and not playing cheap politics, he should have known that President Tinubu is on top of issues and working hard to restore peace to every part of our country.”

Recall that RovingNaija News reported that Atiku had descended on Tinubu for “playing fiddle while Nigeria is drowning in the ocean of insecurity”. He then advised President Tinubu to resign if the shoe (of the highest office in the country) is too big for him
