Former Nigeria’s Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has lambasted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over his private visit to France.
It would be recalled that Tinubu on Wednesday jetted out of Nigeria for France on a private visit. Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this in a statement.
According to him, the President is expected back in the country in the first week of February.
While reacting to Tinubu’s Trip, Akitu in a post on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, said that Nigeria does not need another Tourist-in-Chief, especially when the country is facing rising security challenges and collapsing economy.
According to him, Tinubu is out of Nigeria when the country’s security challenges is on the rise.
His tweet reads, “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.”
