Tinubu’s Refusal To Prevent Escalation Of Rivers State Crisis Is Disgraceful – Atiku

Ex-Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has come out to blast President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.

He recently had his say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the declaration is nothing but political manipulation and outright bad faith, and it is obvious that Tinubu is a vested partisan actor in the ongoing political turmoil in the state.

Atiku added that BAT’s blatant refusal or calculated negligence in preventing this escalation is nothing short of disgraceful.

His words, “His blatant refusal or calculated negligence in preventing this escalation is nothing short of disgraceful.

If federal infrastructure in Rivers has been compromised, the President bears full responsibility.

Punishing the people of Rivers State just to serve the political gamesmanship between the governor and Tinubu’s enablers in the Federal Government is nothing less than an assault on democracy and must be condemned in the strongest terms.”

WOW.
