Thursday, June 4, 2026 -A national leader of the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, on Thursday challenged President Bola Tinubu to resign before the 2027 general elections in view of the high level of security in the country.
Baba-Ahmed, a former aide to Tinubu, said the President has
failed to protect the lives and properties of Nigerians.
Featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show, the former
presidential aide urged Nigerians to reject Tinubu in the 2027 election.
He said, “It’s clear Tinubu has no handle on the escalating
menace. Everything that needed to be said by the media, National Assembly, and
civil societies have been said, but Tinubu and his supporters believe that this
is a problem that we can live with.
“They suggested it by their body language, everywhere they
can and children are stolen, every inch of Nigeria is now vulnerable.
“In a civilized society, Tinubu’s record on insecurity
should have cost him his seat a long time ago, it’s not too late to say that
President Tinubu should resign. If you check what he’s doing between now and
the election, we don’t even need to wait, we will reject him.”
The former presidential aide maintained that his call for
Tinubu to resign is not confrontational and partisan.
“Do we need to wait until more children and the country is
overrun by criminality? The position that Tinubu should resign, there is
nothing wrong or partisan or confrontation in that statement.
“In a democratic setting, the President performs two basic
tasks, one is to protect the citizens and the other is to protect the means.
“Now Tinubu has failed to protect anybody, again, like I
said, every part of Nigeria is now vulnerable. Children and toddlers in school
are being stolen, what do you say to a president who has failed?
“Sir you cannot run this country so please step down. It’s
not a party thing, it’s not a confrontational thing but the right thing to do,”
he added.
