EKO HOT BLOG reports that Atiku, in a post on his 𝕏 handle on Monday, said condolences were no longer enough in the face of recurring attacks across the country, questioning how many more Nigerians would have to lose their lives before the administration of President Bola Tinubu treats the protection of citizens as an emergency.

The former Vice President called on the Federal Government to take decisive action against the recurring attacks, saying Nigerians could not continue to bury their loved ones while those responsible for their security offered excuses after each incident.

Atiku urged the government to strengthen intelligence gathering, protect vulnerable communities and ensure that those responsible for the killings are arrested and brought to justice.

He wrote, “I am devastated by the killing of 32 innocent Nigerians in Ungushi community, Kebbe LGA of Sokoto State. My heart goes out to the bereaved families and the people of Sokoto State. May Allah forgive the departed and give their loved ones the strength to endure this unbearable loss.

“But condolences are no longer enough. How many more Nigerians must be slaughtered before this government treats the protection of human life as an emergency?

“These killings have become frighteningly recurrent, and a government that cannot protect its citizens must not become comfortable issuing statements after every massacre.

“The Federal Government must move from condolences to action: strengthen intelligence, secure vulnerable communities and bring the perpetrators to justice.
