KILLINGS: Aisha blasts Atiku over attacks

Aisha Yesufu, Co-Convener of BringBackOirGirls, BBOG, on Saturday berated Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate over the persistent killings in Southern Kaduna.

Yesufu said rather than staying silent, Atiku and his supporters should come out and speak against the killings in Southern Kaduna.

The activist made the call in response to those calling up former Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili over her silence in the face of fresh attacks in the area.

In a tweet on her Twitter handle, the activist wrote: “When Dr Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks marched against these killings alone and was harassed by DSS at villa gate you mocked her. Why don’t you call the Atiku Abubakar @atiku you said had structure? Abi his structure doesn’t get to stand for your rights?

“Where are the PDP leaders? Where are the Atiku’s people that go around shouting Atikulated when people are being killed in Southern Kaduna.

“Why won’t PDP and all those so-called leaders who wants votes come out and start talking about the Southern Kaduna killings.”

A fresh attack by unknown gunmen had led to the death of about 20 people with several others injured in Southern Kaduna.
