The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has asked President Bola Tinubu to resign, saying the president has failed in his duty to guarantee security for the citizens.
The National Chairman of the party, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed made the call on Thursday in a statement released in Abuja in which he called on Nigerians to demand Tinnubu’s resignation.
Baba-Ahmed who was a Special Adviser on Politics in the Office of the Vice President noted that it is glaring that Tinubu has “failed woefully in discharging his prime responsibility as Nigerian President, which is to secure the Nigerian citizen. Under his watch, old threats have blossomed and mutated, while more and more Nigerians, irrespective of status or age have fallen victims to violent criminals.”
The call by the former presidential aide was as result of growing insecurity across different parts of the country in the last three weeks.
The PRP has blamed the federal Government for not stemming the escalating insecurity in the country, lamenting that “from Generals to toddlers; from Bama to Badagry, no Nigerian is safe under this leadership.”
Baba-Ahmed said the country is now engulfed by the activities of Kidnappers, adding that “it is no longer the case that only parts of the country had 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.
“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. 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.”
The party said “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!”
