Premium Times report that Atiku who recently returned to the country on Friday after being on a trip abroad described the fleeing of the troops as unfortunate as the people were helpless and needed the help of the security agencies spoke to journalists saying:
"With what I have gathered so far from online news reports and other sources from Mubi town, the situation is very unfortunate and undermining for our country."
"If the reports are true that the Armed Forces had abandoned their assigned duty posts a few days before the overrun, it was an indication that the attack was not sudden after all. If the Soldiers also left behind their ammunition and armoured carriers at the mercy of predatory insurgents, it raises a question of complicity in the sordid episode".
"No Commander-in-Chief or General that is worth his salt will surrender his territory with folded arms and running heels," Mr. Abubakar said.
"On every occasion that leaders from the North East raised an alarm about the dangerous trend, we have either been ignored or called names," he recalled.
"If there's any iota of truth in the suspicion of the people that they were deliberately abandoned, then it becomes a dangerous trend and a bad omen for Nigeria and all Nigerians" Atiku said.
The former vice president who is from Adamawa state is reportedly visiting Yola to meet and render his help to the displaced residents sufferings as a result of the Boko Haram attack.
