Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has urged President Bola Tinubu’s government to place the same level of priority on tackling insecurity as it does on boosting revenue generation.

Atiku made this statement in a post on X on Wednesday, responding to a recent attack by insurgents on Wagga Mongono, a community in Madagali Local Government Area, Adamawa State, which occurred on Tuesday.

According to him, the attackers claimed the lives of four individuals, left several others injured, and burned down homes, shops, and a church.

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) described the incident as a tragic reminder of the widespread security challenges still facing the country.

“Our people are certainly tired of the government’s empty claims of improvements in security. Indeed, Nigerians would love to see this government exert pressure on insecurity much as they do on revenue generation.

“We cannot continue to lose our productive population to sundry criminalities and yet make bogus claims about reaching revenue targets, as though the lives of the workforce that produces the revenue don’t matter.

“Many Nigerians remain vulnerable to violent attacks. The tragedy in Wagga Mongono illustrates that the situation is far from being under control, and our people continue to live in fear and displacement, with no certain hope of solution at sight. As someone from Adamawa, this incident feels deeply personal,” Atiku wrote.
