Atiku slams President Tinubu for travelling to Plateau to ”merry” instead of going to commiserate with victims of insecurity

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has slammed President Tinubu for visiting Plateau state today Saturday, October 4, to attend the funeral of Mama Lydia Yilwatda, mother of the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda when he has never visited the state to commiserate with the victims of several attacks of insecurity in the state.

In a post via his official X handle this evening, Atiku described the President’s visit to Plateau which is one of the areas hardest hit by violent attacks as “a sad reflection of priorities and a mockery of leadership.”

He opined that 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 k!llings and displacement across the region.

His post reads

‘’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.

Today, however, the President suddenly remembered Plateau State, one of the most terrorized parts of the North Central, not to share in the people’s pain, but to attend a social event under the auspices of his party’s national chairman.

It is a sad reflection of priorities and a glaring mockery of leadership that while families in Plateau continue to bury their loved ones, President Tinubu chose to grace a political funeral rather than stand with the people in their darkest hour.

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.

From Benue to Niger and most recently Kwara, the entire North Central region has endured some of the most horrific waves of violence in recent history. Yet, not once has the APC-led government deemed it necessary to physically stand by the victims or console their families.

Even when Tinubu made a symbolic visit to Benue State in June, he never bothered to set foot in Yelewata, the epicentre of the massacre. Instead, he ended his trip comfortably in Makurdi, turning his back on the people whose tears and blood still stain the soil.

Now again, he is in Plateau State, not to console the bereaved or reassure the broken, but to celebrate and make merry with his party elite while the people mourn.

The message could not be clearer: this is a President who would rather feast than feel—a leader who finds pleasure where the people find pain.

The Nigerian people are watching, and they will remember.”
