…Says, with 5,091 killed in 3 months, Tinubu”s scorecard soaked in blood

ABUJA: Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has blamed padded budgets and wasteful government expenditure for Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, describing reports that 5,091 Nigerians were killed in violent incidents across the country within three months as a damning scorecard on the President Bola Tinubu administration’s most fundamental responsibility of protecting lives and property.
“Today, we have 5,091 reported killings in just three months, 5,091 shattered families, 5,091 indictments of this administration’s security failures, and ultimately, 5,091 reasons this government must go”, he declared.
In a statement on Sunday in Abuja, his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, said the figures were not merely statistics but a grim measure of the human cost of insecurity and the consequences of a government that has failed to match its rhetoric with the resources, discipline and urgency required to protect Nigerians.
