Tinubu Not Bothered About Plight Of Nigerians – Atiku
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed concern over the plight of Nigerians, many of whom he said have been reduced to refugees and beggars in their fatherland.
In his Independence message, Atiku said in spite of the extreme situation Nigerians have found themselves, neither President Bola Tinubu or his cabinet were bothered.
“It is tragic that in a country blessed with immense human and material resources, millions of our people have been reduced to refugees and beggars in their fatherland.
“Every responsible government holds the welfare and security of its citizens as supreme. But what we have today is an administration that has abandoned its people. Hunger is killing Nigerians, bandits are massacring communities, yet President Tinubu and his cabinet stand by, unmoved and uncaring,” he stated.
The former vice president, however, said Nigerians have the chance to change the narrative by voting out the Tinubu administration in 2027.
“The beauty of democracy lies in the power of the ballot. Oppressed and battered as our people may feel today, they will have the chance to sweep away this inept government at the next polls. That is the power no cabal can take away from the people.”
He said that at 65, Nigeria remains a giant moving painfully slow on feet of clay, a direct result of decades of poor leadership and wasteful governance.
“Nonetheless, with the right leadership, our dear country can still rise from the ashes of failed governance to reclaim its rightful place among the comity of nations,” Atiku, a chieftain of the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC) said.
