The Commander-in-Chief is now The Tourist-in-Chief
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has urged President Bola Tinubu to step aside if the shoe of governance is too big for him.
The former Vice President said that President Tinubu has been globe-trotting, and noted his recent trip to France.
Atiku made this remark on his X handle (formerly Twitter), @atiku, on Tuesday.
He mocked the President for embarking on a ‘private’ foreign trip at a time when the nation’s capital, Abuja, and other parts of the country appear to be at the mercy of armed kidnapping gangs.
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.
“The country needs 24/7 leadership to confront the pervasive insecurity and collapsing economy.”
