PRP National Chairman Hakeem Baba-Ahmed calls for President Bola Tinubu’s resignation over worsening insecurity

The Peoples Redemption Party has called for President Bola Tinubu to step down, citing his failure to protect citizens amid escalating insecurity in Nigeria. The demand was made on Thursday by the party's National Chairman, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, who attributed the country's deteriorating security to Tinubu's leadership. He pointed to the May 15 abduction of pupils and teachers from three schools in Ahoro-Esinle and Yawota communities in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State as evidence of systemic failure. Armed men carried out the attack, leaving families distressed and reigniting national concern over safety.

Baba-Ahmed stated that violent criminals now operate freely across the country, with insecurity spreading beyond previously affected areas. "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," he said. He added that no Nigerian, regardless of age or status, is safe under the current administration. "From Generals to toddlers; from Bama to Badagry, no Nigerian is safe under this leadership," he said.

The PRP chairman accused Tinubu of consolidating power without delivering security improvements. He argued that democratic leadership requires accountability and that Tinubu's continued stay in office is unacceptable given the circumstances. "Our President has failed the nation, and there is no evidence that he can improve on his pathetic record," Baba-Ahmed said. He urged Nigerians to reject what he described as inept and indifferent leadership. The party maintained that citizens cannot wait until the 2027 general elections to act, as lives are being lost daily.
