Former vice president of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has criticised President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima for allegedly being absent from the country.
In a statement on his verified X handle on Monday, Atiku berated the Nigerian leaders for being away from the country amid “daunting challenges” facing the nation.
Describing their absense from the country as “unprecedented,” the Peoples Democratic Party candidate in the 2023 presidential election queried if the nation is on “autopilot.”
His statement reads, “I have been inundated by reports of the absence of the president and vice president from the country.
“It is unprecedented that the two leaders will be absent from the country at the same time, especially now that the nation is faced with daunting challenges.
“The question that readily comes to mind is: who is in charge of government at this point, or is it right to assume that we are on autopilot?”
