Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has demanded the immediate return of President Bola Tinubu to Nigeria.<\/h2>\n

Atiku<\/a><\/strong>, in a statement on Wednesday, said Tinubu\u2019s trip to France is grossly unjustified and an insult to Nigerians.<\/p>\n

The former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) added that President Tinubu<\/a><\/strong> has abandoned the country at a time when Nigerians are battling poverty, insecurity, and despair.<\/p>\n

He described Tinubu\u2019s absence in the country at a time attacks are being recorded in Plateau and Borno States as a dereliction of duty.<\/p>\n

Naija News<\/strong> reports that Atiku submitted that there is nothing Tinubu is doing in France that can\u2019t be done anywhere in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn April 2, 2025, President Bola Tinubu flew out to France. Had this absurd announcement come just a day earlier, Nigerians would have dismissed it as an April Fool\u2019s joke. But sadly, it\u2019s no prank \u2014 just another insult to a nation pushed to the brink by a presidency that treats its citizens like fools.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe official excuse? A so-called \u201cworking visit.\u201d But Nigerians aren\u2019t buying the spin. The presidency scrambled to clarify that it wasn\u2019t a medical trip \u2014 how noble. But even if it\u2019s not medical tourism, what justification is there for gallivanting across Europe while Nigeria bleeds? What kind of leader borrows billions only to blow scarce funds on vanity trips abroad? It\u2019s not just irresponsible\u2014 it\u2019s contemptuous.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLet the facts speak for themselves. By the time Tinubu struts back from this latest escapade, he will have racked up a staggering 59 days in France since assuming office. \u201cSee Paris and die?\u201d No \u2014 see Paris and abandon your country.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Tinubu dines under chandeliers in the land of good governance, the country he governs is spiraling into chaos. Plateau has turned into a killing field \u2014 over 100 lives lost in relentless attacks. Benue is bleeding. Boko Haram is seizing territory. And every single day, Nigerians sink deeper into poverty, insecurity, and despair.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t just negligence. It\u2019s dereliction of duty on a catastrophic scale.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIf Tinubu had even a shred of empathy, he would cut his trip short and return immediately. A leader with an ounce of patriotism wouldn\u2019t need to be begged to show up in times of crisis. The constitution says the security and welfare of the people is the primary purpose of government. But under Tinubu, that sacred duty has been trashed.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s be honest: there is absolutely nothing Tinubu is doing in France that he couldn\u2019t do in Lagos, or even in Iragbiji. This so-called \u201cworking visit\u201d is nothing more than a vacation cloaked in official jargon.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria is in a full-blown state of emergency. Not a contrived political emergency like what Tinubu declared in Rivers for partisan gain \u2014 this is a national collapse. So when, exactly, will Tinubu declare a state of emergency on his own disastrous presidency?<\/em> Atiku asked in the statement signed by his media aide, Paul Ibe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
