The Presidency said on Tuesday that President Bola Tinubu has been following developments at home and is on top of the security situation in the country, contrary to the claim of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
It also said that Tinubu did not travel without informing Nigerians of his whereabouts, saying he announced a private visit to France with a return date.
This was disclosed in a State House statement released on Tuesday and signed by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The statement was in response to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s lambasting of Tinubu for failing to tackle the security crisis in the country.
Atiku was reacting to the recent surge in the kidnapping and killing of citizens across the country, especially the killing of a nursing mother and her mother in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, and the murder of two monarchs in Ekiti State.
He wondered why the President embarked on a private visit to France amid the ravaging insecurity in the nation.
Onanuga, however, has described Atiku’s statement as reckless, claiming it fell short of what is expected from an elder statesman.
