Step Aside, Atiku Abubakar Tells President Tinubu

 Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the 2023 general election, has urged President Bola Tinubu to step aside if governing Nigeria is too much for him.

Atiku stated this in reaction to Tinubu embarking on a private visit to France at a time when insecurity was on the increase across the country.

Atiku who berated President Tinubu in a statement released on his X handle, said Tinubu is playing fiddle while Nigeria is drowning. He asked the President to step down if he feels the shoes are too big for him to fill.

He wrote;

‘’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.”
