Mr Atiku’s post around 10:20 p.m. Thursday was deleted less than an hour later. It had garnered over 1,200 reactions within 16 minutes, according to a screenshot taken by Peoples Gazette.
Most of the comments were from fundamentalists who warned the politician to stay away from condemning the murder of the Christian student.

“There can not be a justification for such gruesome murder. Deborah Yakubu was murdered, and all those behind her death must be brought to justice,” Mr Atiku said. “My condolences to her family and friends.”
A spokesman for Mr Abubkar did not return a request seeking comments about why he took down the post on Facebook.
The former vice-president didn’t delete a similar message that he posted on Twitter, indicating that he might have seen a difference between Facebook and Twitter users on the sensitive development.
Remember this when @atiku starts acting brand new and liberal to seek your votes in the coming weeks. Don’t forget to add the fact that he stayed off twitter when Buhari banned twitter to his sins.

Why did @atiku delete this tweet?
Did you change your mind about justice for Deborah?
Did you change your mind about offering your condolences?
Is it that you have now found justification for the gruesome murder? pic.twitter.com/J8E1ZhWT1K

You see, this is an own goal scored by Atiku and his media team…. It shows where he stands……. He chose his political ambition to humanity.
What on earth would justify withdrawal of a condemnation of a gruesome murder of a human being?
If the fanatics threaten not to vote him for standing for the truth, if he meant well for all inclusive Nigeria, he would have stood firm for the truth…
What did he do?… He preferred his Northern fanatics to humanity….. Karma is real though…. We watch!
The has just short him self at the foot
Lol baba God keep reveling them before time
