Peoples Redemption Party calls for President Tinubu's resignation over worsening insecurity

The Peoples Redemption Party PRP has urged President Bola Tinubu to resign, citing his alleged failure to protect Nigerians amidst escalating insecurity. The call follows the recent abduction of pupils and teachers in Oyo State on May 15, an incident that has sparked widespread outrage. Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the National Chairman of the PRP, stated that the security situation has deteriorated significantly under the current administration, with violent criminals operating freely across the country. He asserted that no Nigerian is safe, as insecurity has spread beyond previously affected regions, and that President Tinubu has "failed woefully" in his primary responsibility to secure citizens. Baba-Ahmed highlighted that schoolchildren and other vulnerable groups have become targets, and accused the President of concentrating power without improving security. He argued that Tinubu's continued tenure is unacceptable given the worsening conditions and that Nigerians should not wait until the 2027 elections to demand an end to what he described as "ineptitude and indifference." The Presidency has previously stated that the Tinubu administration inherited deep-rooted security challenges and is deploying resources to combat criminal activities.
