PRP asks Tinubu to resign over rising insecurity

The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has publicly called for the resignation of President Bola Tinubu, accusing his administration of failing to fulfill its constitutional duty to protect Nigerian citizens amid a severe decline in national security. This demand follows growing alarm over insecurity, particularly after the recent kidnapping of students and teachers in Oyo State.

“

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.

The abduction incident, which occurred on May 15, involved armed individuals storming three schools in the Ahoro-Esinle and Yawota communities within the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State. The attack resulted in the kidnapping of numerous pupils and teachers, leaving families traumatized and sparking nationwide outrage. The event has intensified calls for significant reforms within Nigeria's security apparatus.

In a statement released on Thursday, PRP National Chairman Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed asserted that the security situation under President Tinubu has deteriorated to "alarming levels," with violent criminals operating with impunity across the country. He declared that "no Nigerian is safe" under the current leadership, as insecurity has expanded beyond its traditional hotspots to virtually every region. Baba-Ahmed criticized the President for concentrating power without achieving improved security outcomes, stating, "Our President has failed the nation, and there is no evidence that he can improve on his pathetic record."

No Nigerian is safe under this leadership.

The PRP chairman lamented that schoolchildren and other vulnerable populations have become primary targets for criminal elements. "From Generals to toddlers; from Bama to Badagry, no Nigerian is safe under this leadership," he stated. "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 from rampant violent criminals who exploit our major weakness." He urged citizens not to succumb to the failures of leaders or the actions of criminals, emphasizing that "this is not how Nigerians should live."
