Atiku Says APC Architect Of Banditry In Nigeria

By Ayodele Oni

Contrary views are being expressed on genesis of banditry in Nigeria with the African Democratic Congress, (ADC),  presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, saying President Bola Tinubu should stop blaming insecurity in Nigeria on the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).

Atiku stated that Tinubu inherited insecurity from the All Progressives Congress, (APC), government led by his predecessor, late former President Muhammadu Buhari.

The former Vice President who spoke through his media aide, Paul Ibe, was reacting to a remark by the National Security Adviser, (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, on the kidnapping of school children and teachers in Oyo State.

Terrorists had abducted primary school pupils and teachers from LA School and Community Grammar School, Ahoro-Esinele.

Following the incident, Tinubu had dispatched a high level delegation which included his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabilamila, Ribadu, and others to the affected areas.

Speaking on the incident, Ribadu had remarked that Tinubu inherited insecurity, while blaming the PDP.

Dismissing Ribadu’s stance, Ibe posted on X: “This is revisionism à la APC. It is disingenuous of NSA Nuhu Ribadu to blame

the inability of the

Tinubu-led APC administration to safely rescue the Oyo abducted

school children on the PDP government that the APC

replaced 11 years ago.

“By the way, it took the President two weeks to send a delegation to visit the families of the abducted school children and teachers in Oriire.

“Tinubu inherited security challenges from his APC predecessor. Keep on blaming everyone except yourself, while the children continue to languish in the custody of their abductors in Oyo, Borno and elsewhere.”
