Step Aside If Presidency Shoe Is Too Big For You, Atiku Blasts Tinubu

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar, has asked President Bola Tinubu to step aside if the shoe of leading Nigeria is too big for him.

Atiku, who said that Nigeria does not need what he described as another Tourist-in-Chief, berated President Tinubu for embarking on private visits outside the country while Nigerians are being kidnapped and killed on a regular basis.

The former Vice President in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday said that President Tinubu was playing fiddle while Nigeria was drowning in the ocean of insecurity.

According to him, the President, as the Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria, was on a private visit while kidnappers killed a nursing mother and grandmother in Abuja for failing to pay N90 million ransom.

Atiku said, “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.”

Atiku stressed that “The country needs 24/7 leadership to confront the pervasive insecurity and collapsing economy.”
