‘Tinubu Inherited Insecurity From His APC Predecessor’ – Atiku’s Aide

Paul Ibe, the media adviser to the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has said President Bola Tinubu should stop blaming Nigeria’s insecurity on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Naija News reports that Ibe said Tinubu inherited the country’s security challenges from the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Ibe, while reacting to comments by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, on the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State.

Terrorists had abducted primary school pupils and teachers from L.A. School and Community Grammar School, Ahoro-Esinele, in Oyo State.

Following the incident, Tinubu sent a high-level delegation to the affected communities. The delegation included the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, Ribadu and other senior officials.

Speaking during the visit, Ribadu said Tinubu inherited insecurity and blamed the PDP.

Reacting in a post on 𝕏, Ibe described Ribadu’s position as dishonest.

He said, “This is revisionism à la APC. It is disingenuous of NSA Nuhu Ribadu to blame the inability of the Tinubu-led APC administration to safely rescue the Oyo abducted school children on the PDP government that the APC replaced 11 years ago.”

Ibe also criticised the timing of the Federal Government’s visit to families of the abducted victims.

He added, “By the way, it took the President two weeks to send a delegation to visit the families of the abducted school children and teachers in Oriire.

“Tinubu inherited security challenges from his APC predecessor. Keep on blaming everyone except yourself while the children continue to languish in the custody of their abductors in Oyo, Borno and elsewhere.”
