Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar has reacted to the terrorist attack in Yobe state on Sunday.
According to reports, the insurgents killed an unspecified number of people and dropped some fliers with Arabic inscriptions.
Speaking on the dire incident, Atiku lamented that the federal government is more focused on arresting protesters than addressing the worsening insecurity in the country.
The former vice president shared his concerns via a post on his X page on Wednesday.
He argued that the federal government has preoccupied itself with stifling dissent and imposing death sentences on protesters
Atiku wrote, “The atrocity in Yobe is a stark testament to the failure of the current security framework, demanding immediate and comprehensive reform”.
“Despite the tragic bloodshed in Yobe, which has claimed scores of lives, and the rampant destruction across numerous villages in Katsina, Sokoto, and other towns within the North-West and North-Central regions, the government seems to remain detached, engrossed in inconsequential affairs.
“The turmoil extends to the South as well, where the disquiet wrought by Boko Haram and the unsettling political discord threatens the nation’s peace.
“Amidst these grave challenges, the Federal Government preoccupies itself with stifling dissent, resorting to draconian measures such as imposing death sentences on protesters.
“My heart goes out to the victims of these horrific attacks, and I fervently implore the Tinubu administration to demonstrate a heightened commitment to safeguarding life and property across the nation.”
