Former Vice President and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has condemned the recent attack by suspected terrorists on a military base and an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Ngoshe, Gwoza Local Government Area, Borno State, in which over 100 people were abducted.
In a statement, Atiku described the incident as “deeply troubling” and criticized the apparent indifference of the Federal Government to the attack and similar violent incidents across the country.
He noted that the increase in violence has become so widespread that both society and government seem desensitized to the bloodshed.
The former vice president accused the current administration of prioritizing pressure against political opponents and supporting self-serving ethnic militia groups over tackling terrorism.
He expressed dismay that officials responsible for internal security, along with ruling party elites, appear focused on consolidating power while civilians and servicemen face continued attacks.
While sympathizing with the families of the victims, Atiku voiced strong indignation at what he called the government’s lack of empathy towards the victims of the Ngoshe assault.
