Nigeria Burns While Presidency Defends Lunch Photos In Paris

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has criticised the Presidency over what he described as misplaced priorities, accusing it of focusing on defending photographs of President Bola Tinubu’s meals in Paris at a time Nigeria was battling hunger, insecurity and economic hardship.

In a statement by Phrank Shaibu, his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, the former vice president faulted the Presidency’s latest ‘stop press’ and questioned its sense of urgency amid worsening national conditions.

He said: “The Presidency’s latest ‘stop press’ is a textbook case of misplaced priorities and official shamelessness. That is not leadership. It is tone-deafness in power.

“While communities in Niger State and other parts of the country are under attack and families can no longer afford basic food, the Presidency is busy explaining camera phones, image quality and photo editing.
