PRP Demands Immediate Resignation of President Bola Tinubu Over Worsening Attacks
- The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has officially called on President Bola Tinubu to step down from office, accusing his administration of failing to protect Nigerian citizens.
- Opposition leaders emphasize that violent criminality and mass abductions have moved beyond historically volatile zones to threaten virtually every part of the country.
- The party argues that citizens continuously falling victim to bandits and kidnappers cannot afford to wait until the next general election cycle to demand a change in leadership.
The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has escalated its political opposition against the current administration by demanding the immediate resignation of President Bola Tinubu, thenewsnaija reports.
In an official statement issued on Thursday, June 4, 2026, the National Chairman of the party, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, fiercely accused the President of failing woefully to fulfill his core constitutional mandate of securing the lives and properties of Nigerians.
Baba-Ahmed stated that under the President’s watch, historical security threats have rapidly mutated and expanded to the point where no citizen, regardless of age, status, or geographical location, can be considered safe.
The opposition party’s sharp rebuke is heavily tied to a wave of nationwide outrage following the recent mass abduction of scores of pupils and educators in Oyo State.
The initial raid, which occurred on May 15, saw heavily armed men invade three separate schools within the Ahoro-Esinle and Yawota communities of the Oriire Local Government Area, leaving countless families severely traumatized.
The PRP chairman lamented that educational institutions and vulnerable school children have now joined a long list of “soft targets” for rampant criminal syndicates, warning that the federation appears to be dangerously close to accepting these horrific events as a normal standard of living.
The PRP further criticized President Tinubu for amassing immense administrative and political power around the presidency without translating that centralized control into measurable tactical security updates or defense strategies for ordinary citizens.
Rejecting the notion that an incompetent leadership must be allowed to complete its constitutional term, the party asserted that asking for accountability is a fundamental tenet of democratic governance.
While the political class may have the luxury of waiting to face voters at the ballot box in 2027, the party insists that vulnerable Nigerians facing immediate threats from bandits, kidnappers, and communal violence do not possess the same luxury.
In response to growing waves of criticism from various political blocks, the Presidency has routinely countered by maintaining that the Tinubu administration inherited deeply entrenched, systemic security breakdowns and continues to aggressively deploy intelligence and military hardware to dismantle criminal networks nationwide.
