Atiku Abubakar has received some serious backlash by most Nigerians after he deleted Facebook and Twitter post on Deborah’s killing after fanatics threatened his 2023 ambition.
Atiku Abubakar has deleted a post he made on his Facebook page and Twitter about the murder of Deborah Samuel after coming under a barrage of threats from fanatics of northern origin who asked him to forget his presidential ambition.
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.
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!
