PRP Asks Tinubu to Resign Over Rising Insecurity, Says No Nigerian Is Safe

The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has called on President Bola Tinubu to resign, accusing him of failing in his primary duty to protect the lives and property of Nigerians as insecurity worsens across the country.

In a strongly worded statement, PRP National Chairman Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed said Tinubu’s administration has overseen a steady decline in security, with old threats growing and new ones appearing unchecked.

“It is now beyond any doubt that President Bola Tinubu has failed woefully in discharging his prime responsibility as Nigerian President, which is to secure the Nigerian citizen,” Baba-Ahmed said.

“Under his watch, old threats have blossomed and mutated, while more and more Nigerians, irrespective of status or age, have fallen victim to violent criminals.”

‘No Nigerian Is Safe’

The PRP chairman painted a grim picture, saying no part of the country has been spared. “From Generals to toddlers; from Bama to Badagry, no Nigerian is safe under this leadership. It is no longer the case that only parts of the country have been virtually surrendered to criminals. Now, no Nigerian in any part of the country is protected.”

He specifically referenced the May 15 abduction of pupils and teachers in Oyo State as a low point. “School children have joined the long stretch of soft targets, and the nation appears to be at the point of accepting this situation as normal. We must not submit to the weakness of leaders and the exploits of criminals. This is not how Nigerians should live.”

‘Resign Now’

Baba-Ahmed argued that Tinubu has amassed all the power of the state around him but failed to use it. “Our President has failed the nation, and there is no evidence that he can improve on his pathetic record. He has amassed all the power in the country around him, yet he has failed to use it to protect and defend Nigerians.”

“In most other democracies, President Tinubu’s failure to respect the values of accountability and responsibility would not have been tolerated. Nigerians must rise to demand an end to this ineptitude and indifference. President Tinubu should resign, now!”

Baba-Ahmed dismissed the argument that Tinubu should simply face voters in 2027. “While he may have the luxury of ignoring our current deteriorating circumstances and awaiting the verdict of rejection by voters in 2027, Nigerians who will continue to fall victim to violent criminals do not have the luxury of waiting to vote him out in 2027.”

The statement comes amid a wave of kidnappings across Oyo, Zamfara, Borno and other states.
