Atiku has condemned Tinubu’s visit, saying he attended a social event in the North-central state instead of visiting victims and consoling communities ravaged by insecurity.

In a post via his official X handle, Atiku described the president’s visit to the North-central state — one of the areas hardest hit by violent attacks as “a sad reflection of priorities and a mockery of leadership.”

He said it was regrettable that the president chose to visit Plateau State to attend a funeral event associated with the APC chairman rather than commiserate with victims of the persistent killings and displacement across the region.

“With large swathes of the country still under siege from unrelenting insecurity and thousands of innocent lives lost, it is deeply unfortunate that President Bola Tinubu has not, for once, found it worthy to visit any of the affected states to commiserate with the grieving citizens,” Atiku said.

The former vice president alleged that the president’s decision to attend the event “under the auspices of his party’s national chairman” showed a lack of empathy and compassion.

“Between the APC national chairman and his president, what we witnessed today is a heartless exhibition of disregard for empathy, compassion, and the dignity of human life,” he added.

Atiku further criticised the Tinubu administration for failing to show solidarity with victims of violence in the North-central region.
