Unrest: "Atiku Criticized for Particular Reason that May Prevent Domination of Nigeria", Onoh Expresses
Title: Josef Onoh Accuses Atiku Abubakar of Neglecting Adamawa State's Security Needs
Lowdown: The mouthpiece of recent southeast campaigns for President Bola Tinubu, Josef Umunnakwe Onoh, recently took Atiku Abubakar to task for milking innocent citizens' suffering for political gain. Onoh's criticism stems from Atiku's stance on the recent killings in Benue State and his accusations against Tinubu's government over the escalating insecurity across the nation.

In a heated response on April 21, 2025, Onoh sparked controversy by claiming that Atiku, a long-standing adversary, has shown no genuine concern for his "referendum-adopted" home state, Adamawa, evident in the absence of security support provided to the region [1][3]. He dared Atiku to cite any instances of his security assistance to Adamawa.
Onoh juxtaposed Atiku's indifference with Aliko Dangote's 2018 donation of 150 fully equipped operational vehicles to the Nigerian Police Force to combat national insecurity [1]. Similarly, Dangote Cement plc donated 25 operational vehicles, complete with security features, to the Ogun State Security Trust Fund. Yet, Onoh questioned Atiku's silence on any security support he has ever offered Adamawa in response.
Onoh reminded Atiku that empathy should begin at home, especially when addressing security challenges. He pointed out that the Adamawa State Executive Council had approved 25 Innoson pick-up trucks for the state's security agencies. Conversely, Atiku, despite his harsh criticism, had failed to support Adamawa or other institutions affiliated with him [1].
