The 2023 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has accused President Bola Tinubu of playing politics with insecurity by appointing his kinsmen to top security positions.
Atiku was reacting to the emergence of a new terrorist
organization, Lakurawa, in the Northwestern part of Nigeria.
He said that with the recurrent grid collapse in the North
due to criminal activities, Tinubu should focus more on improving security,
which is a “sine qua non for investments.”
In a statement by his Special Assistant on Public
Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku described as “unfortunate” the announcement
by the military authorities on the emergence of a new terror organization known
as Lakurawa.
He noted that “the President had decided to play politics with
security by appointing his kinsmen in top security and economic positions.”
“Even on the economy, he put his kinsmen in every key
position, beginning from finance minister, trade and investment, CBN, customs,
and FIRS. Even President Muhammadu Buhari was not this brazen. Unlike Tinubu,
Atiku is not a bigot. He has also not refunded money to the United States for
alleged drug trafficking.
“Despite a huge revenue challenge, Tinubu commits over $13bn
to the controversial Lagos-Calabar coastal highway, rendering scores of Lagos
residents homeless just to please his associates while other pressing matters
are starved of funds.”
Atiku advised the president to “make hay while the sun
shines,” as Nigerians are tired of his administration.
