The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has come under attack for tweeting concerning the 2022 International Day of the Girl Child.
International Day of the Girl Child is an international observance day declared by the United Nations; it is also called the Day of Girls and the International Day of the Girl. October 11, 2012, was the first Day of the Girl Child.
Atiku while celebrating the day as declared by UN, wrote:
"On International Day of the Girl Child, we must all come together to protect and nurture one of Nigeria's greatest assets—our girl child. My plan for safety, education, and a level playing field will be critical in protecting their rights and future".

Some Nigerians who are not pleased by his post have taken to their social media to criticize him, reminding him of his action when Deborah Samuel was killed over blasphemous Message.
Below are some of the comments gathered by CEOAFRICA:

The PDP Presidential flagbearer had deleted a post he made on his Facebook and Twitter handles condemning the killing of Deborah Samuel, a 200-level student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto State, who was burnt to death on Thursday, May 12, 2022.
It was reported that the student was beaten to a pulp and burnt alive on Thursday by male Muslim students who accused her of insulting Prophet Muhammed via a WhatsApp platform.
The incident has also led the school authority to shut down academic activities to calm down tension.
Reacting to the development, Atiku in a post on his social media handles, condemned the incident, declaring that all those behind the killing must be brought to book.
“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,” he wrote.
However, some religious fanatics with Islamic names stormed the comment sections, particularly on Facebook, threatening to withdraw their support for Atiku’s 2023 presidential ambition.
It was later observed the following day after numerous threats, that the posts were deleted from Atiku’s social media handles.
