Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has said President Bola Tinubu and his wife, Remi, are more preoccupied with political activities than rescuing kidnapped Oyo State schoolchildren and teachers.
Atiku made the claim in a statement by his spokesperson,
Phrank Shaibu, on Friday.
Recall that the kidnapping of Oyo school pupils and teachers
on May 15, 2026, has attracted condemnations and protests calling for the safe
return of the abductees.
In a fresh concern, Atiku said while the nation is still
waiting for the abductees’ safe return, the Federal Government appears more
preoccupied with political activities.
Atiku expressed disappointment that many of the activities
that have drawn public outrage were personally anchored by the First Lady,
Oluremi Tinubu.
“A true mother does not celebrate while her children are
missing. A true mother does not preside over political festivities while
families are trapped in agony, praying daily for the safe return of their loved
ones.
“A true mother would use every platform available to keep
the plight of those children at the forefront of national consciousness until
they are safely reunited with their families.
“When children are missing, the nation expects urgency. When
teachers are abducted, the nation expects compassion. What Nigerians do not
expect is political pageantry. They do not expect campaign songs. They do not
expect celebrations. They certainly do not expect luxury gifts being handed out
to political loyalists while families are living through one of the darkest
moments of their lives,” he said.
