Where is the president, why is he not in Jos? - Rufai Oseni calls out Tinubu over Plateau attack

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Arise Television anchor, Rufai Oseni has called out President Bola Tinubu over his failure to visit the victims of the Jos attack.

Taking to his X page on Thursday, Oseni questioned Tinubu's decision to embark on foreign trips while citizens are facing series of attacks.

Ruffydfire as he commonly reffered to on social media wrote;

"The president is so quick to travel abroad for event, but he hasn’t visited citizens attacked in Jos."

Recall that on Sunday, December 24, there were multiple attacks and killing of over 150 persons in about several communities in Bokkos and Barkin Ladi local government areas of Plateau State.

Gunmen had stormed Ndun, Ngyong, Murfet, Makundary, Tamiso, Chiang, Tahore, Gawarba, Dares, Meyenga, Darwat, and Butura Kampani villages in the Barkin Ladi, Mangu and Bokkos areas of the state burning houses and shooting residents.

President on his part ordered the manhunt for the killers while condemning the attack that occurred in Plateau State.

He also condoled with the government and the people of Plateau State, and assured Nigerians that “these envoys of death, pain, and sorrow will not escape justice.”

This, however, did not go down well with several Nigerians who slammed him for his failure to visit the state.

Some netizens took to Oseni's post to share their thoughts;

@trendwithola: It's heartbreaking, they don't value lives of ordinary citizens but that of their fellow colleagues. @officialABAT human lives must be valued at all cost.

@aai_austin: He didn't visit Kaduna victims he visited his friends in their palace. Now Plateau bled since 24th no visits but make owambe for Dubai now he's first to assemble 1400 team.

@Asika2Ngozi: He always wants to impress the west while back home here, the citizens don't worth or matter to him

@Anyetye1: That's not his interest.

In 2014 his heart was bleeding over the deaths in Yanyan but today, his heart is flowing with milk and honey over the death in Jos.

He can't and won't visit Jos.

@BenDiaspora: PRESIDENTING BY PROXY

Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu sent his greeting to Kaduna victims by loudspeaker from Borno

Then he sent his Veep Shettima to Jos to deliver his condolence
