The Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for what it described as “insensitive and misleading” remarks following the recent terrorist attack on Wagga Mongoro, Madagali Local Government Area.

In a statement issued on Sunday by its State Publicity Secretary, Mohammed Abdullahi, the party accused Atiku of turning a moment of tragedy into a platform for unhealthy politics instead of identifying with victims and their grieving families.

The APC said Atiku’s comments on the incident were not only inaccurate but characterised by political undertones, adding that from the statement it was clear that Atiku was either ignorant of what really transpired or simply mischievous.

According to the APC, Atiku’s record in Adamawa also undermines his credibility.

The party accused him of neglecting his home state while in office, abandoning projects and focusing largely on personal business interests.

“When Boko Haram overran Adamawa communities, displaced families, and shut down livelihoods, Atiku was silent. Now, when peace is gradually returning under APC leadership, he suddenly finds his voice not to unite, but to exploit,” the statement said.
