The former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) explained that the security situation in Nigeria is deteriorating rapidly, adding that now is the time for decisive leadership.
He went on to note that the time has come for us to put in all our effort and stamp out this menace from our nation.
This development is coming a week after Atiku warned the federal government that the increase in the cases of abduction was becoming a catastrophe that must be decisively dealt with before it snowballs into a major crisis.
The politician in a statement on Tuesday, April 27, urged the Nigerian authorities to stop treating criminality with kid gloves.
He stated that the abduction of an unspecified number of undergraduates of the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue state, is one abduction too many.
