Political activist and public affairs analyst, Mahdi Shehu has criticised President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, and other top government officials over what he described as their silence following the kidnapping of 170 people in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Shehu made the remarks in a post shared on his X account on Monday while reacting to Vice President Shettima’s scheduled visit to Plateau State for the reception of Governor Caleb Mutfwang into the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to him, none of the country’s top leaders visited Kajuru after the mass abduction, despite the gravity of the incident.

“Neither Tinubu nor Shettima nor Akume nor Christopher visited Kajuru,” Shehu wrote.

“But they are busy with other lesser engagements because 170 kidnapped victims do not matter in a country where 600,000 people were killed within one year.”

Reacting directly to the planned APC event in Plateau State, Shehu added: “Welcome Mutfwang to the final destination.”
