Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar has described as unacceptable the activities of daredevil terrorists in some parts of the North, blaming the ugly trend on President Bola Tinubu’s alleged failure.
Atiku made the remarks in a statement posted on his Facebook page, on Wednesday, while confirming his meeting with some political stakeholders from Borno State, led by Mohammed Kumaila.
The former VP said his discussion with the stakeholders centered on the deteriorating security crisis in the North East, North West, and North Central, alleging that some communities have been taken over by the trouble makers.
“The conversation with the Borno leaders centred more on the current worsening security situation, especially in Northern Nigeria.
“The consensus is that the occupation of Nigerian territories across some parts of North East, North West, and North Central states is a clear failure of political leadership, especially under the Tinubu-led APC Federal Government.
“It is unacceptable that bandits or terrorists continue to takeover communities, imposing levies on citizens and disrupting farming activities”, he said.
Atiku further expressed confidence that “with the right political leadership, Nigerian security forces have the capacity to take on the insecurity confronting the country”.
He called on Nigerians to unite against the current administration and rescue the country via the 2027 elections.
“I thanked the Borno stakeholders for their show of concern about the state of the nation and expressed readiness to support efforts aimed at restoring the peace and economic prosperity of the country”, he added.
