The African Democratic Congress, ADC, 2027 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar on Wednesday charged President Bola Tinubu to listen to the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, over the spate of kidnappings and general insecurity in Nigeria.
Atiku charged Tinubu to work on the recommendations made by
CAN while he’s still in office as the Nigerian president.
CAN had condemned the spate of kidnappings while calling on
Nigerian leaders to ensure the immediate release of all school children
abducted by gunmen across the country.
However, Atiku in a post on X, wrote: “I have just read the
communique released by the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, under the
leadership of His Grace Archbishop Daniel Okoh from the 2026 National Church
Leaders Summit and I align with the concern and sympathies of the Church in
Nigeria over the security of the lives of Nigerians.
“The demand for a comprehensive review of the nation’s
security architecture, enhanced intelligence gathering, stronger inter-agency
cooperation, improved operational effectiveness and greater accountability in
the fight against terrorism, banditry and violent crime, are all fully in line
with my position on the failure of the Tinubu-led Federal Government.
“As insecurity ravages without concern for religious or
ethnic differences which have been made more glaring by the 360 degrees failure
of the incumbent government, I commend this noble effort to hold the ruling
party accountable and encourage solidarity from all Nigerians in this regard. I
enjoin other faith organisations especially of the Muslim block to lend their
voices to this wake-up call.
“On behalf of the political opposition whom Tinubu has
ignored as well as the Nigerian people, I urge Tinubu to listen to this urgent
call from CAN and diligently ponder his courses of action beyond rhetoric, at
least for his remaining months in office. -AA”
