"Tinubu Administration Has Abandoned North -Central Region to Bloodshed" - Atiku

Former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar accused the administration of President Bola Tinubu of abandoning the North-Central region to rampant bloodshed and failing in its core responsibility to protect citizens. The post, which has garnered a lot of reactions on social media shows a surge in banditry, kidnappings, and mass killings across states like Kwara, Niger, Plateau, and Benue, framing it as a "monumental failure" of governance.Atiku, a prominent opposition figure and 2023 presidential candidate for the People's Democratic Party (PDP), detailed a grim picture of insecurity in the region. He noted that Kwara State, previously considered safe, has become a "hotspot" for bandit and kidnap attacks. In Niger State, militants have reportedly attacked military bases, killed soldiers, and massacred worshippers in a mosque. Plateau and Benue states, he added, are enduring ongoing violence, with communities "continuing to bury their dead while the Federal Government looks away."Citing statistics, Atiku claimed that by May 2025—marking just two years under Tinubu's rule—more than 10,000 lives had been lost in Northern states, with Benue accounting for over half of those deaths. He emphasized that "mass killings continue weekly," accusing the government of pretending "nothing is wrong."The post extends criticism beyond insecurity to alleged political thuggery by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Atiku alleged that instead of combating threats, the APC is deploying "thugs, infiltrators, and hired hooligans" to disrupt opposition meetings in Kaduna, Kebbi, and Ogun states. He pointed out that security forces "failed to act and even blamed the victims," with the APC leadership's silence indicating "complicity.""Violence is a vicious circle that will eventually consume those who use it," Atiku warned, labeling any politician relying on violence as "desperate, unpopular, and dangerous to democracy." He directly addressed the Nigeria Police, reminding them that they are "funded by taxpayers, not by the APC," and must remain "neutral, fair, and constitutional," or risk betraying public trust.
