“Step Aside If The Shoes Are Too Big, Nigeria Doesn’t Need Another Tourist-In-Chief” – Atiku Tackles Tinubu

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has taken a swipe at President Bola Tinubu for his recent private trip to France.

In a tweet posted on his handle @atiku on Tuesday, Atiku advised President Tinubu to step aside if the responsibilities of governance prove overwhelming for him.

Atiku ridiculed the President for embarking on a ‘private’ foreign trip while the nation, particularly Abuja and other regions, grapples with the scourge of armed kidnapping.

Atiku called on Tinubu to relinquish his position if he finds it challenging, citing recent incidents like the killing of a grandmother in Abuja and the tragic demise of two traditional rulers in Ekiti state during the President’s absence.

The former vice president emphasized the urgent need for 24/7 leadership to confront the prevailing insecurity and address the country’s economic challenges.

He wrote, “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.”

KanyiDaily had reported how Gunmen suspected to be herdsmen carried out a deadly attack in Ekiti State, resulting in the tragic deaths of two traditional rulers.
