“We Are Not Safe Under President Tinubu, He Has Failed to Protect Nigerians, He Should Resign” — Baba-Ahmed
Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, National Leader of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP), has called on President Bola Tinubu to resign, arguing that the administration has failed in its primary responsibility of protecting Nigerians from worsening insecurity across the country.
Speaking during an interview, Baba-Ahmed expressed deep concern over the increasing wave of kidnappings, violent attacks, and criminal activities affecting communities nationwide.
He stated that the security situation has deteriorated to the point where no part of the country can be considered safe.
According to him, repeated warnings from the media, civil society organisations, and concerned citizens have not translated into meaningful improvements in the security landscape.
He accused the President and his supporters of treating insecurity as a challenge Nigerians must simply endure rather than urgently resolve.
Baba-Ahmed pointed to the growing number of abductions involving schoolchildren, women, and other vulnerable citizens as evidence that criminal groups are becoming more emboldened.
He argued that every region of Nigeria is now exposed to security threats and that ordinary citizens live under constant fear of attack or kidnapping.
The PRP leader maintained that in a mature democratic system, a government with such a security record would face serious political consequences.
He said President Tinubu’s handling of insecurity would have cost him his office in many established democracies.
Defending the PRP’s recent position that the President should step down, Baba-Ahmed insisted that the call was neither partisan nor confrontational.
Rather, he described it as a responsible response to what he sees as the government’s inability to fulfill its constitutional duty.
He noted that citizens elect leaders primarily to guarantee their safety and create conditions for lawful economic activities.
In his view, the current administration has fallen short on both fronts, leaving Nigerians increasingly vulnerable to criminality.
Baba-Ahmed also expressed skepticism that the National Assembly would take any action capable of compelling the President to resign, alleging that the legislature remains firmly aligned with the administration.
He therefore urged Nigerians to speak out and demand accountability, insisting that the country cannot continue on its current trajectory.
According to him, if the security situation remains unchanged, public dissatisfaction could significantly influence political outcomes ahead of future elections.
The remarks add to the growing national debate over the effectiveness of government efforts to tackle insecurity, a challenge that continues to dominate public discourse across Nigeria. Discover More….
