APC replies Atiku: Tinubu remains committed to Nigerians’ welfare, security

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has replied to the former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar who accused President Bola Tinubu of “making merry” in Plateau while the nation grapples with security challenges.

The ruling party says the President’s commitment to Nigerians’ welfare and security remains total and unshakable.

APC spokesman in the state, Mr Seye Oladejo, stated this on Sunday in Lagos.

President Tinubu was on Saturday in Jos, Plateau, to attend the burial ceremony of Nana Lydia Yilwada, mother of the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwada.

“No amount of reckless politicking or bad-faith commentary from yesterday’s men can diminish the fact that Tinubu remains committed to welfare and security of Nigerians.

“President Tinubu’s visit to Plateau was a show of compassion and solidarity – a mark of respect to a distinguished Nigerian family in grief and a reaffirmation of our shared humanity.

“Only a man blinded by political envy would seek to twist such a solemn event for cheap propaganda,” Oladejo said.

According to him, Tinubu has demonstrated proactive leadership by strengthening security institutions, prioritising intelligence-driven operations, and ensuring unprecedented collaboration among the security agencies.
