“Instead of standing with the grieving persons, he hurriedly put up a sordid and fictitious statement laced with political innuendos,” the party said.
It added that Atiku “got both the place and even number of casualties involved wrong,” describing his response as a “comedy of errors.”
The APC further alleged that Atiku and the Peoples Democratic Party government in which he served as vice president created the conditions that fuelled the insecurity now confronting the country.
“The PDP government in which he was the second in command squarely puts us into this quagmire,” the statement read.
According to the party, Atiku neglected Adamawa during his time in office, attracting “no meaningful projects and abandoning even his own hometown of Jada while concentrating on personal business ventures.”

The statement maintained that the current administration in Adamawa and at the federal level is working with “competent, patriotic and committed hands” to support the armed forces and security agencies in restoring lasting peace.
It warned against what it called the “shameless politicization of grief,” saying no responsible leader should adopt such tactics to score political points.
“The people of Adamawa are not deceived,” the APC declared.
“They know the difference between genuine solidarity and empty posturing. They know who stood with them in their darkest hours and who is now cynically dancing on fresh graves for political gain.”
The party extended condolences to victims of the Wagga Mongoro attack, offered prayers for the injured, and pledged continued support for security operations aimed at defeating insurgents in the region
