Atiku Warns Kidnap Ransoms Now a Routine Household Expense

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar says ransom payments have become as routine as school fees and rent for many Nigerians. He criticised the Tinubu administration for celebrating borrowing levels while citizens face crushing hardship and insecurity. Atiku described how road travel now feels like a gamble with death, and families live in fear of midnight abduction calls. He warned that armed gangs and terrorists have driven farmers off their lands, leading to steep food price hikes, hunger and malnutrition. He argued that Nigeria’s mounting debt has not translated into better lives or safer communities. Atiku urged the government to abandon propaganda and tackle insecurity, economic hardship and social despair with sincerity and urgency.
