KNOWING ATIKU ABUBAKAR IN ONE MINUTE EPISODE 46

PADDLE YOUR PRESIDENTIAL CANOE: ATIKU REBUKES TINUBU

Atiku Abubakar's recent statement is a scathing indictment of President Bola Tinubu's leadership, highlighting the stark contrast between their respective approaches to governance. As a seasoned statesman who has led Nigeria with remarkable track records of economic development, health and safety, and international consciousness, Atiku's words carry significant weight. His assertion that "the Nigerian people are watching, and they will remember" underscores his unwavering commitment to accountability and the welfare of the citizenry.

During his tenure as Vice President, Atiku demonstrated exemplary leadership, fostering economic growth and development through innovative policies and strategic partnerships. His emphasis on education and healthcare reform yielded tangible results, improving the lives of countless Nigerians. In stark contrast, President Tinubu's priorities appear to be misplaced, as evidenced by his decision to attend a social event in Plateau State whilst the people mourn the loss of loved ones. Atiku's statement, "Between the APC National Chairman and his President, what we witnessed today is a heartless exhibition of disregard for empathy, compassion, and the dignity of human life," highlights the empathy and compassion that has come to define his leadership style.

Atiku's commitment to international consciousness is evident in his diplomatic efforts, which have earned him widespread recognition and respect globally. His criticism of President Tinubu's leadership is not merely partisan; it is a call to action, underscoring the need for leaders to prioritise the welfare of their citizens. As he notes, "From Benue to Niger and most recently Kwara, the entire North Central region has endured some of the most horrific waves of violence in recent history." This statement serves as a poignant reminder of the region's plight and the need for effective leadership.

Atiku's leadership style is characterised by a deep understanding of the complexities of governance and a willingness to engage with the challenges facing the nation. His statement, "Yet, not once has the APC-led government deemed it necessary to physically stand by the victims or console their families," is a damning indictment of President Tinubu's leadership, highlighting the lack of empathy and compassion that has come to define his administration. In contrast, Atiku's own track record demonstrates a commitment to standing with the people, even in their darkest hour.

The contrast between Atiku's leadership and that of President Tinubu is stark. Whilst Atiku has consistently demonstrated a commitment to the welfare of Nigerians, President Tinubu's actions suggest a callous disregard for human life. As Atiku notes, "The message could not be clearer: this is a President who would rather feast than feel—a leader who finds pleasure where the people find pain." This statement underscores the need for a new kind of leadership, one that prioritises the needs of the people above all else.

Atiku's statement is not merely a criticism of President Tinubu; it is a call to action, urging Nigerians to demand more from their leaders. As he notes, "Today, however, the President suddenly remembered Plateau State, one of the most terrorised parts of the North Central, not to share in the people's pain, but to attend a social event under the auspices of his party's national chairman." This statement highlights the need for leaders to prioritise the needs of the people, rather than their own partisan interests.

Atiku's leadership style is guided by a deep sense of empathy and compassion. His statement, "It is a sad reflection of priorities and a glaring mockery of leadership that whilst families in Plateau continue to bury their loved ones, President Tinubu chose to grace a political funeral rather than stand with the people in their darkest hour," underscores the need for leaders to prioritise the needs of the people. This is a hallmark of quality leadership, and one that Atiku has consistently demonstrated throughout his career.

In sum , Atiku's statement is a testament to his quality leadership and commitment to the welfare of Nigerians. As he notes, "The Nigerian people are watching, and they will remember." This statement serves as a reminder of the need for leaders to prioritise the needs of the people, and to demonstrate empathy and compassion in the face of adversity. This is Atiku Abubakar, Our Political Party philosophy.
