He Ripple Effects of Plateau Killings: Why Atiku Blames Tinubu

Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president, has criticized the Bola Tinubu-led administration's security architecture, calling it a broken system that has contributed to the nation's recurrent murders.

Atiku claimed in a statement released on Friday through X that the security situation under Tinubu has devolved into a "nationwide phenomenon," with killings occurring so frequently that they no longer garner media attention.

"Repeated killings, more of which do not even make the headlines, have made the failure of Bola Tinubu's security architecture an endemic nationwide phenomenon," he stated.

He was worried that Nigerians were slowly growing numb to news of violence, especially in areas like Plateau State's Bokkos Local Government Area, where recent attacks have killed a number of people.

"I once again offer my condolences to the bereaved communities of Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State and the affected families, as Nigerians are now forced to get used to such news of wanton killings," he continued.

In addition, Atiku reiterated his demand for a comprehensive revision of the nation's security framework and urged President Tinubu to move quickly to change the country's security strategy.

The former vice president stated, "I would like to reiterate my advice to the Tinubu-led FG to restructure its security architecture to meet the needs of safeguarding our people's lives and property."
