The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, on Wednesday blamed the surge in insecurity issues on the Federal Government’s inability to a throne a regime of law and order.
Atiku made this remark via his verified Twitter handle, @Atiku following the terrorist attack on the Kuje custodial centre in Abuja which freed 64 Boko Haram inmates and killed six persons.
He tweeted: “I am concerned and saddened by reports of the attack on Kuje Prison by suspected terrorists.
“My concern arises not only from the prospects of the escape of detained terrorists and hardened criminals but of its implications for the security of lives and property to residents of Abuja and its environs.”
As part of his tweet, the former Vice President recalled, “I wish to restate what I said to @THISDAYLIVE on Monday that our inability to enthrone a regime of law and order in which the arrest and prosecution of criminals will be made a priority as a deterrent to copycats is the reason why insecurity continues to fester in our country.”
Atiku’s tweet has had 2,838 likes, 628 retweets, and 146 comments since he tweeted at 12.34pm on Wednesday.
