former vice president of nigeria atiku
0:02
abubakar has promised to tackle
0:04
challenges in plateau state if elected
0:06
president of nigeria come 2023 general
0:10
atiku abubakar made the promise today
0:13
when he visited people's democratic
0:14
party pdp delegates in the state ahead
0:19
he said my consultations with leaders
0:21
and delegates of the pdp and jos this
0:23
afternoon afforded me an opportunity to
0:25
see some longtime associates
0:27
the plateau for me is a homecoming i am
0:31
well aware of the challenges that beset
0:34
our esteemed delegates agree that my
0:35
campaign agenda is most suited to
0:37
address those challenges
0:39
they also accept that my diverse
0:41
experiences will be valuable assets in
0:43
unifying the country and revamping the
0:46
atiku abubakar promised to address joe's
0:49
crisis which for years has been
0:50
witnessing insecurity as a result of
0:52
mass killings between people of
0:54
different tribes and religion
0:56
one of the most recent cases in the
0:58
state is the killing of about 40 muslim
1:00
faithfuls in the state by people who
1:01
were mourning and burying their loved
1:03
ones earlier killed by some group of
1:07
that aside atiku abubakar competency is
1:10
a true leader worthy to be a head of
1:12
government came to a doubt on thursday
1:13
when a female student of shu shakhari
1:15
college of education deborah yakubu was
1:18
stoned and burnt to death by mob of
1:20
students over alleged blasphemous
1:21
statement against prophet muhammad saw
1:24
atiku abubakar had earlier issued
1:26
statement through his personal verified
1:28
twitter and facebook profile accounts to
1:30
condemn the killer students
1:32
but suddenly the former vice president
1:35
atiku abubakar went through the
1:38
he said his personal assistant on media
1:40
did not get approval from him before
1:42
issuing the statement to condemn the
1:43
lawless act of the killer students who
1:45
obviously abused the law of nigeria
1:48
atiku abubakar till now refused to
1:51
condemn the killer students who took
1:52
laws into their hands
1:54
atiku abubakar had been busy trying to
1:56
question nigerian's level of reasoning
1:59
by thus creating a new symbol to mark
2:01
statement that comes from him and the
2:03
ones he did not authorize
2:05
he said any message published through
2:06
his personal verified social media
2:08
accounts that does have a a sign at the
2:10
end should not be regarded as his
2:13
the question many nigerians are asking
2:16
is that when a message on atiku abubakar
2:18
personal verified social media account
2:20
does not carry the a sign who should we
2:22
now attribute the statement to
2:25
many considered atiku abubakar defense
2:27
after withdrawing his statement against
2:29
the killer students as deceptive and
2:31
unreasonable as a leader most especially
2:33
as a former vice president of nigeria
2:35
under which plateau state recorded
2:37
inter-religious and tribal war with
2:39
figures of mass killings

many believe the attitude of some
2:56
northern elders and leaders towards
2:58
managing lawlessness is the reason why
3:00
terrorism is booming in the region
3:02
as at the time of filing in this report
3:04
we have not been able to verify
3:06
independently if president muhammadu
3:08
buhari has actually condemned the
3:10
lawlessness over the killing of the
3:11
female student in sokoto
3:13

forwarded a press release from the

presidency but could not state the
