‘Bola, you claim Nigerians love you, yet your billboards in Kaduna require security guards’- Atiku tackles Tinubu

African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has criticised President Bola Tinubu over reports that security operatives were deployed to protect his campaign billboards in Kaduna.

According to Daily Trust, Atiku questioned the government’s priorities ahead of Tinubu’s planned campaign launch on Saturday.

“Bola, you claim Nigerians love you, yet your billboards in Kaduna require security guards.

“Bandits raid villages, terrorists attack communities, and families live in fear. Your posters enjoy protection that millions of Nigerians can only dream of. What a tragic statement of your government’s priorities.

“Bola, please protect Nigerians with the same urgency you protect your image! -AA” Atiku added.

However, the Kaduna State Government dismissed the allegations.

Governor Uba Sani’s aide, Abdullah Yunus Abdullah, explained that security deployments around strategic locations were routine during high-profile visits.

He maintained that the operatives were not specifically assigned to protect Tinubu’s campaign materials.

The controversy comes amid preparations for Saturday’s presidential campaign launch in Kaduna.
