Former vice-president Atiku Abubakar criticises President Bola Tinubu after reports that security operatives are guarding Tinubu’s campaign billboards in Kaduna State ahead of the APC’s presidential campaign launch. Atiku, a presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress, says the arrangement highlights what he portrays as misplaced government priorities.
In posts cited by multiple outlets, Atiku links the reported billboard protection to broader concerns about insecurity, arguing that Nigerians are not given the same level of protection. Some coverage frames the comment as a contrast between safeguarding political messaging and addressing public safety needs. Across outlets, the core details—Atiku’s criticism, Tinubu’s alleged protected billboards, and the context of the Kaduna rally and campaign launch—are consistent.
While all three stories focus on Atiku’s attack on Tinubu, they differ slightly in phrasing and emphasis, such as how they describe the quote used and whether they foreground insecurity as the backdrop to the accusation.
