Atiku’s Aide Raises Alarm Over Killings, Calls for Tinubu’s Resignation

Media adviser and spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Mr Paul Ibe, has called on President Bola Tinubu to resign, citing what he described as the administration’s failure to effectively address the worsening insecurity across the country.

Ibe made the remarks during an interview monitored by Politics Nigeria on Tuesday, in which he argued that the foremost responsibility of any government is to guarantee the security and welfare of its citizens.

According to him, Nigeria is less secure today than it was in 2023, pointing to figures he claimed showed that 879 people had been killed, while nearly 300 others remained in captivity.

He described the figures as disturbing and said they highlighted the depth of the security challenges confronting the nation.

Ibe further maintained that the government’s response to insecurity had fallen short of expectations, insisting that Nigeria could not continue under what he characterised as a “trial and error” style of governance.

He said, “Let me tell you why President Tinubu needs to resign. The primary responsibility of government is security and welfare. Are we more secure now than we were in 2023? The answer is No.

“According to statistics, 879 people have been killed, and nearly 300 are in captivity. Those statistics are very frightening. That’s a snapshot of the pervasive insecurity that we have.

“The government’s efforts are not good enough. I mean, we can’t continue on this journey of trial and error. The truth of the matter is that Tinubu is incompetent and clueless.”
