Presidency blasts Atiku over Jilli airstrike comment

Sunday Dare, the Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for his comments on the airstrikes in Jilli, calling them misleading and politically motivated. Atiku condemned the operation, which reportedly resulted in the deaths of several traders, labeling it a 'devastating failure.' Dare emphasized that the Nigerian Air Force conducted a targeted strike on insurgent positions and accused Atiku of opportunism for criticizing military actions while also denouncing insecurity.
