The former Vice President lamented, “despite the tragic bloodshed in Yobe, which has claimed scores of lives, government seems to remain detached, engrossed in inconsequential affairs.”
He further lamented, “amidst these grave challenges, the Federal Government resorting to draconian measures such as imposing death sentences on protesters.”
According to Atiku: “Despite the tragic bloodshed in Yobe, which has claimed scores of lives, and the rampant destruction across numerous villages in Katsina, Sokoto, and other towns within the North-West and North-Central regions, the government seems to remain detached, engrossed in inconsequential affairs. The turmoil extends to the South as well, where the disquiet wrought by Boko Haram and the unsettling political discord threatens the nation’s peace.
Amidst these grave challenges, the Federal Government preoccupies itself with stifling dissent, resorting to draconian measures such as imposing death sentences on protesters. The atrocity in Yobe is a stark testament to the failure of the current security framework, demanding immediate and comprehensive reform. My heart goes out to the victims of these horrific attacks, and I fervently implore the Tinubu administration to demonstrate a heightened commitment to safeguarding life and property across the nation.”
