Atiku Criticises First Lady Over School Abductions

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised First Lady Oluremi Tinubu over her response to the kidnapping of schoolchildren in different parts of Nigeria.

He made the remarks on Friday as concern grows over repeated attacks targeting students. The issue has continued to draw reactions from political leaders and citizens.

Attention remains on how public officials respond to insecurity cases.

Atiku said public figures in positions of influence should show care and concern when children are affected by violence.

He argued that leaders are expected to respond with urgency when citizens are taken by armed groups.

His comments followed recent incidents of school abductions that have unsettled several communities. He linked the situation to wider worries about safety across the country.

He also noted that families continue to live in fear due to repeated kidnapping cases in multiple states.

According to him, those in leadership positions should respond with greater responsibility and empathy.

He stressed that protecting children in schools should remain a top priority for government action. His statement added to ongoing national conversations about security challenges.

The remarks have triggered fresh political debate, with public attention focused on responses from top officials.

Atiku’s criticism comes amid continued calls for stronger security measures to protect schools and rural communities.

The First Lady has not responded to the comments. Discussions on how to address kidnapping and improve safety continue across the country.
