Presidential hopeful, Atiku Abubakar, has distanced himself from a tweet condemning the lynching of Deborah Samuel, a Christian 200-level student of Shehu Shagari College of Education Sokoto, who was killed for allegedly blaspheming Prophet Muhammad.

Atiku, who is running for President on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, had taken to Twitter to condemn the mob action, saying, “There cannot be a justification for such gruesome murder.

Deborah Yakubu was murdered and all those behind her death must be brought to justice. My condolences to her family and friends.”The former Vice-President, however, came under threats from some Muslim northerners who threatened not to vote for him if he emerges as the Presidential candidate of the PDP.

EbzOdunlami This one will never seat as a president in this country, even beyond that all your past will equally be brought to book.

So he justifies the killing? For votes? Atiku! May Deborah's blood speak against ur votes to the heavens & her blood pollute the offerings u make for this race. May u never be president of the Fed Republic of Nigeria! You have just shown the sort of President you will be.

Since he claims his tweets comes with his initails A.A. he should go ahead and say something about the brutal murder and forget about if he was the one that tweeted initially

Islamic teachers, it's not enough to condemn the act, ensure the right teaching is passed to your youths. There is no moral justification for this killing in this modern days and time, it is wicked and inhumane.

He is more title conscious than the life of an ordinary Nigerian.He is indirectly supporting the killings.'A coward'. Can he be a president?

You are fake, fake u will remain

If this news is true, then you don't deserve a shot at the presidency. People who value their clout more than clemency are not supposed to be leaders

May God help us🙏

why didn't Atiku win election in 2019 if the north voted for him infact he is a loser in the south

Atiku is coward

This is a sign God has given us so we can choose the right person who will stand for the person not this so called man who stand only for the northerners.

Excellent ejiro said Atiku lost northerners vote by condemning the killing and then lost christians vote by deleting it. He is now left with native regions people's vote

I'm too disappointed. . .he lost my trust. I believe God exposed him.

After the egg has rotten

You people have not told Punch that oga Atiku has deleted d tweet. His 2023 ambition is a priority o. But can we blame him 'NO', what is d government of d day doing? What has Buhari said about this cannibalistic act? May they feel same pains the family of d lynched girl feels.

This man got the wide support in 2019 only because his contender was buhari. He should just forget it this time around, he wont even make it past the primaries

So jellyfish doesn't have backbone really?

He has shown his not fit to be president if he can't condemn in strong terms the babaric act of his brothers

Can someone help me with the video clips of this sokoto student that the Muslim describe as blasphemy in order to perpetrate this kind of crime against this lady is so on call for

This man is more of a pretender than Buhari. No one should complain afterwards if he is enabled.

This man is not worthy to be a president. Very unfortunate that poli-tricks & selfish ambition are more important to him than human life. The South should also not vote for him for not publicly condemning evil. God have mercy!

In coming Nigeria president. It is well with you.

Why won't he deny , he needs vote from that's angle and other Islam State

What type of a leader atiku are you. A man who cannot stand for the truth and you are aspiring to lead over 200 millions people of Nigeria.

It's difficult to disown an ingrained habit,especially deep seated hatred Fulani spirit of revenge. All Fulani notables have confessed that Fulanis are VENGEFUL they habour unforgiveness for years, They gleefully acknowledge this as an outstanding 'Fulani ID.

So, what is now his reaction to the cold blood murder specifically?

He support it then.

How can he condemn it at this election time? he needs the votes from almajiris who believe that killing the girl was the right thing.

That's the selfish politician that calls himself a unifier. Pls how does aligning with fanatics who brutally killed & burnt an unarmed citizen b/c of votes amount to Atiku being a unifier? He is at best a divider. GiveUsPeterObi2023 GiveUsPeterObi PeterObi4President

May such calamity befall your children!

atiku can never be trusted with the sanity and sincerity of this country.A man that can delete his tweet on a national issue because his own people ,can never be trusted.

LeTiny_ I am really disappointed sha.

Behold the day of reckoning shall come and the wolves be revealed even in their sheep's clothing

We shall see! You don't even deserve to be a leader in this country. Tirrr 🙄🙄

atiku scores an own goal 😂😂

He is not worth a leader

How can atiku claim he does not authorise this tweet? Which aide will use his verified handle to tweet at 12:20am without his permission? He should tell us another lie!

Peter Obi I know

I won’t be surprised that this one has once’s lynched a Christian while still a teenager

Why can't he just say; I deleted the post because I supported the barbaric murder, killing because I will lose northerners' votes because I am a true ....... And because I will be president to them only and do all they wish; to get to power. PERIOD.

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. The book of James got it right. This man is no near worthy to lead this country. He doesn't even have the nerve

segalink see who u people want us to vote for!!!🤦

renoomokri

I have kicked against division of Nigeria but everyday I see reasons why we need to go our seperate ways. Standing his ground would perhaps send some message to the irate youths and change their perception. But No, you shifting grounds because southern Nigeria has no values.

That's ok. We know them already.

Evidence of things to come, both now &if he becomes president. &police will protect the Islamic terrorists who beat the lady to death, by the way. Good atiku is not pretending at least. He can stick with his North. Any southerner that votes4him, know same fate befalls you.

From the day he deleted the tweet and sack his social media handler for releasing the tweet without his consent, ATIKU HA LOST MY VOTE. ME AND MILLIONS OF NIGERIANS. HOW CAN HE UNIFY US THAT ARE DIVERS IN OUR RELIGION, ETHNICITY. ETC. WIKE DON TALK AM. AN ETHNIC BIGOT.

I can’t believe this kind of things still happen, all this northerners are not Nigerians, they are all carnivorous animals and blood sucking demons in human form, and as for the so called atiku now Nigerians can really see who he truly is, a man with double face..

These are reasons for d agitation of Biafra. With dis it's obvious some people think they are more human dan others. Christians should shine their eyes. Biafra or Southern Nigeria instead of dis amalgamation of cheats.

His ambition is more important than the life of any Nigerian.

Totally disappointed, so his dream is to be president for a million people in Sokoto?

atiku You deleted your tweet about the gruesome murder of Deborah because of mere threat from those that have subject the innocent to persecution and wickedness. I wonder how you would protect the weak & vulnerable as Nigeria president. May God help Nigeria, no messiah in sight

Say to the wicked that it shan't be well with them

Please someone should point me to where Oshinbajo condemn the killing I need it for evidence… Thanks. 🙏

Will anything good ever come out from him? This clearly shows the level of divide in the so called country. Very soon we will hear that he's disengaged the aide

He has started failing.

Unifier my foot!

He needs to because he's a Muslim and a politician....he needs he's Muslim brotherhood votes

God has a very smart way of revealing truth about people. Wisdom lies in how we apply this knowledge

How about having a Muslim north and a Christian south ? Could that be a solution ? atiku

You can now see the kind of person you Nigerians want to vote as your president. A man who prefer religion than saving humanity.

It's obvious, we can't be one with these monsters. Even Atiku is a monster. We are different in so many ways. I don't care how you see it, but we can never be one..

All the people commenting are wasting there time... Northerners will decide the next president.. if ATIKU get 50% votes from the north.. he will be our president. Una just dey waste data here.

Karya yake wlh munafuki

ATIKU is 100% far better than Tinubu.... Tinubu will sell Nigeria... Please be wise..

How can this one guarantee the lives of Nigeria if he becomes president when he has already choosing his religion against humanity

So is he saying its good or what? I dont understand

See who wants to be a president I have been campaigning for you o but with this one wey you do I won't vote you and I will make sure all the people I have talked to won't vote you too

So Atiku cannot stand for justice for all nigerians. What Sultan even condemned, he was threatened to delete. Shame on Atiku

Unifier.

Politics is jealous, you can't be a politician and have another religion. Politics is the religion of the politicians.

He’s Just showing you demo of how he’ll handle bandits and terrorist if elected.

Nigerians, what will happen to our security if he is allowed to rule? Think twice. If he can runaway from the truth because of his own northern people, he will do worst to protect them. He failed already

He should kiss goodbye to been president of Nigeria. Period!!!

God has used Deborah to open the eyes of Nigeria. Please vote. PeterObi

that student wasn't lynched, she was brutally murdered.

Nigerians, this is whom you want to bring in again. We are still paying the price of stupidity since 2015. God forbid carryover of insecurity, poverty, economic meltdown, failed education, failed system etc. Amen.

Even if he’s able to make it through the primaries, he sure won’t make it through the presidential vote. This is y no northerners must emerge as our next president.

The ways of our leaders in this country, make me wonder, if The animals are seeing us as Animals sef, mtchew

So saddddddddddd. End of Atiku Abubakar's political career.

Are you interested in Amazon KDP. To learn Amazon KDP, you need a good blueprint to guide you . Dm now to get started. You can start earning an extra 200k monthly as an Amazon KDP creator

You lost my vote, never will you become the president of Nigeria

For disowning tweet you also lost our vote as nigeria youth although who won vote for you b4

Coward

Atiku,by withdrawing your tweet on this barbaric killing, you just lost millions of votes from the southerners should you emerge candidate of your party

What a pity, it only further show us the kind of interest most of our politicians stand for

May we never have an atiku as president atiku channelstv DailyPostNGR vanguardngrnews

Quest for votes in the mud…. You’ve lost my vote. Atikulated turned antique. FOH

The North are the ones drawing this Nation backwards

That means Atiku is in support of the murder

All I see in nigeria is self hate all in the name of religion that was forcefully giving to our ancestors... shame to all u educated illiterate in this country, Nigeria will happen to u or ur children someday.

Atiku clearly sent a strong message to the south that he can't protect the Christian if luckily he becomes the president today. Where is the One Nigeria? Lord Lugard is to be blame for bringing us together with this heartless people.

What you spend years building (presidential ambition), deleting a tweet demanding justice can destroy it overnight...Atiku

You people's supporting the killing of this young girl may the universe visit u with thesame. Also if it's an American or European citizen that said what she said will they kill her and u slaves supporting this will you still support them?

It takes bravery to speak against religious and ethnic extremist

atiku has clearly shown religion can influence him from taking strategic positions on controversial matters.

And He Wants to Rule Who in 2023 🙄🙄😠😠

It just shows what he stands for..

If Obi doesn't win the PDP primaries I rather waste my vote for Moghalu

Atiku disowned the tweet condemning lynching of sokoto student

Why won't he disown it,the killers are products of the likes of atiku His Fulani-Hausa conspirators go around in the north and middle-belt to exterminate Christians.

and you say these northerners are sane

atiku is emotionally unstable & that for me is a red flag 🚩 for someone that intends to lead a nation 👎🏽

Wetin concern you with this one again?

When a man is unstable in his principles then nothing he says or does can be trusted.

Seriously? Unbelievable.

If to say na christians or na for east this kind thing happen ...... Na so soldiers go just full everywhere d kill youths....JusticeForDeborah

Is this the kind of president we will get? Who doesn't have his own mind cannot lead us

This has shown that AA is a devil behind the door

You pray that Buhari's tenure should end and let's have another leader who will stop the killings and blood shed in Nigeria and you look for his brother of the same ideology and propensity to hand over power! Is that not deliberate suicide for fellow countrymen? Let's be wise ooo

See the one you people are waiting to vote for, I pity una….

Wahàlá for this country. Atiku get Oga sef.

Coward

It shall not be well with Lord Lugard for marrying us in this ungodly marriage...

He's not worthy to be Nigeria's President. Period. He's for the north not for Nigeria. He's not suppose to delete that tweet.....shows how bendable he can be when the north intervenes.

He has denied ALL CHRISTIANS with that. It is clear.

Punch Newspapers . ALL THE POLITICIANS INVOLVED IN THE KILLING OF THE INNOCENT CITIZENS OF NIGERIA , WILL NOT KNOW PEACE AND THEY WILL NOT LIVE TO WITHNESS FORTG COMING ELECTION

Wow indeed no need to vote him again.

I told you all that this man is a hypocrite.

If they won't vote, better let them go hell of their illetracy in pit holes! Blasphemy Did their generations was a Muslim? Illusion and inept of inhumane humanity! cnalive TalkIslam1 preach love and stop this inherited madness! UNHumanRights CNNAfrica Radiolagos1075 UN

I hope renoomokri can see this

Which means he supports the lynching? And when one says all muslims are terrorists the flies will swarm around buzzing 'Islam is peace. Terrorists don't represent Islam' and all sorts of donkey shit.

Leaders who not ready to fight the problems, but want to rule at all cost, what a shame.

Very unfortunate,that people seek position instead of responsibility. How on earth can an aspirant of such nature choose to aligned with the little on unlawful act simply because he is seeking their support in an election? Take a million votes and loose Nigeria period.

Look even the state government isn't seeking justice for the victim. That fact is, this is something in the back bone of Islam... Every Muslim will try to disassociate himself from the reality that will expose the fact that they'll always choose religion over humanity.

Not fit to be a president

Sitting on the fence... Politics over everything in 9ja

We don't want unreliable leader any longer

Which means he is in support, he made that post just because he is running for president

Well atiku is just playing politics. None of the 2023 political aspirants will say a word in favour or against the Killing

This is what PDP presidential aspirant has to say.

Atiku will be worse than Buhari; he mustn't become President

That fact is this is something in the back bone of Islam... Every Muslim candidate will try to disassociate himself from the reality that will expose the fact that they'll always choose religion over humanity.

What nonsense!!

It's not about Atiku it's Islam against humanity and Atiku does not have the balls to challenge that.

Haahahahahh, I have made up my mind... Interest is wonderful, no body will deceive me.

Had it been we all have religion tolerance such will not be happening

Atiku is bokoharam with BSC

Atiku has shown his participation in the lynching and subsequent burning of the young lady. He cannot be trusted.

Atiku will never be president

Y’all r jokes what did she expect she insulted the prophet of Islam.she definitely had it coming.

Major problem in the world 🌎 today is Islam Bandit, terrorism & on demonic set of people mitcheew tuuueh

We all rush to judge and fail. Has Bola ever said anything? At least he poured his mind and we all knew where is is standing already. Bola should comment and let's see.

Politics!!

Hypocritical leaders. Atiku is a fulani man, he is a wolve in a sheep clothing. saynotoatikupresidency

Hmmm

This says a lot about the integrity of this idiot that wants to lead this nation. You've just lost one vote.

atiku should start campaigning to be president of Arewa (Afghanistan annexe)

Imagine the man who wants to lead Nigeria in 2023. Thank God he has been exposed. Human lives mean nothing to these ones, all they want is absolute power to perpetrate evil. If he will chose vote ahead of a slained innocent life.

The translator should have done better in my opinion, atiku said that any tweet that didn't end with AA is not his. But refused to mention the this particular tweet in question and also did not take a position on subject matter. atiku did you condemned the killing or not?

The story go eventually clear

The red flag 🚩 is steering at us and some people will still ignore it and vote for him if he eventually becomes the pdp flag bearer. lordlugard why?

They choose politics instead of humanity awon oloriburuku jati jati.

Atiku is a coward the hand writing is clear now that he's the same with his brotherhood believe don't worry let me see how you will become president 🤡🤡

One country two constitution one president 🤦🏽‍♂️

You got nobody, we the southerners have already picked offense, God is indeed working for peterobi. GiveUsPeterObi2023

Atiku is a coward. Atiku is a coward.Atiku is a coward.Atiku is a coward.Atiku is a coward.

His in full support of murder cos that’s their belief and practice along with lots of them leaders

This is the man that says he is a 'unifier'? Nigerians, choose wisely. It is time to do away with these lies and deceivers. We are all witnesses how PDP has jettisoned its constitutional provision on ZONING all because of him!!!

Atiku deleted this tweet to appease the extremists from Sokoto after they threatened him with their votes. Atiku is a coward and a Desperate man, Nigerians must make sure someone like Atiku must not be the President of this country 🇳🇬

They are all the same.

He's afraid his useless Islamic brothers will use it against him...

Atiku has to be investigated

God didn't make any mistake in 2019. What OBJ said about this man is still there.

atikuAbubakar if truly you bring down your initial post on the unlawful way Deborah was murdered, then, our lives are not safe in your hands as someone aspiring to be the number one citizen of this noble country.

Atiku is not different from Buhari, a regret for Nigeria if voted to power

Atiku is now between a rock and a hard place. He has to choose between religion and humanity, else he's doomed to or either ways he's in trouble. 'Islam is a religion of peace', I am lost.

See people una Wan vote for? Omor

Please, patronize my business. DM for your order!

atiku should not get any vote from Christians in Nigeria, We need a leader that is not afraid to say the truth.

Thank heavens for situations like this, we can see clearly what we are dealing with🙄

The comments is the reason

Nice one to those my bastard friends supporting this man saying atikuwate na ogun waste all of una one by one can you imagine another 8yrs of disaster they re routing for 😲

Na dis kind people we go vote for lol

So unfortunate!!!! Olorun nibo loju re wá..... Ayanfe un jiya láyé

Atiku for you to do this why did you condemn it before it just showed that they don't care about you but your vote... coward

This shows that Atiku will be very dangerous than buhari

A wake up call for all Nigerians come 2023 General Election. Like I have been telling people, no one from the North means anything thing good for Nigeria, especially people from those 'K's states. Nigerians wake up! Beware!

This man is be worst than buhari

Buhari 14 Pro Max.....this man will take this country to hell.

The earlier we know this country are not meant to be together, the better for us all.

Lol waziri of Adamawa. Lol

It shows you are a coward. You believe in killing people for ordinary human created by God. Did God ask you people to kill for Him? This act shows that you are not worshipping Allah but Mohammed, whom God created you both.

Atiku is more concerned about killings in the South than in the North… Wonderful!

Dubai dollar. Now we know that another 8 years in the North will be a disaster for this country. Lord Lugard why? 💔

The South is waiting for him.

This man must fail come 2023 election

Ambadad_Kb

Who says Atiku is far from Pantamistic tendency?

Arne ya janye batu nai kenn 😂😂

karya yake, bloody lier

The way people will disown him during the elections

Meaning?

So you are supporting the barbaric act....?🙄🙄

Unifier indeed. This man will be Nigerians' biggest mistake. He condemned an evil and later deleted it just to please his kind.

But when I looked closer, I found that they were not actually lunatics but PRIMITIVE PEOPLE LEAVING IN MODERN TIMES. This gruesome religious murder in SOKOTO reminds me This kind of lawlessness must be condemned in total And this is in a University where educated people are supposed to be. I always believed these religious fanatics occupy both the educated and uneducated space.

Outrage as students beat, burn female colleague for 'blasphemy' in SokotoNigerians on Thursday demanded justice for a yet-to-be identified female student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education in‪ Sokoto State after she was mobbed and burnt by some students of the school for allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Stop this useless reportage of blasphemy, she only cautioned the her classmates against posting religious activities on the school's group chat There are still so many beasts in this world taking religion more important than God himself. The more poverty we have, the more of those beasts we breed. May the blood of that girl be visited on them all. Nothing justifies the beating and stoning that eventually led to killing and burning Deborah. This is not how 2 practice d religion of peace. And If dere are people who genuinely believe dat she deserved such, den something has gone terribly wrong with our humanity. ~Mr Macaroni
