The National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has said President Bola Tinubu has lost grip of Nigeria’s worsening insecurity.
Baba-Ahmed was said to have cautioned that the President’s handling of the security crisis could result in public rejection if urgent action is not taken.
He said this on Thursday during an interview on Arise News.
“The security situation in Nigeria is deteriorating fast with violent attacks and kidnappings pervading all over the country,” the PRP leader said.
“President Tinubu has no grip on rising violence every part of Nigeria is now vulnerable to insecurity. In a civilised democracy, President Tinubu’s record on insecurity would have cost him his seat long ago,” he said.
The kidnapping of children showed how deep the crisis was, he said.
“Every inch of Nigeria is now vulnerable to insecurity. Every time children from generals to toddlers are kidnapped. “Children, toddlers in school have been kidnapped.”
Baba-Ahmed said the government had not faced up to the reality of growing violence. He said the insecurity crisis appeared normal to Tinubu and his inner circle.
He said, “Everything that should have been said by the media, by civil society, by everybody, except of course the National Assembly, Tinubu himself and his little circle of supporters, seem to believe that this is a problem that we can live with.
The PRP leader said the government had failed in its basic responsibility of protecting life and property.
Now, President Tinubu has spectacularly failed to protect anybody. “Like I said before, every part of Nigeria is now vulnerable,” he said.
He warned the country could suffer more attacks unless urgent action was taken.
“We are in trouble,” said Baba-Ahmed. “We have not been safe under him and it is likely that we will be more exposed to criminality between now and the elections.”
Baba-Ahmed said the PRP’s demand for the resignation of Tinubu was not political but because of the worsening state of national security.
‘We said the rest of it. And we mean that in all seriousness. “He said President Tinubu should step down.
He said the status quo would be rejected by Nigerians if the President remained.
“If we project what he’s doing, how he’s performing between now and the elections, we don’t need even to wait,” the PRP Leader said. Nigerians will not have him.” »
“Insecurity has become a defining national crisis that can no longer be condoned,” Baba-Ahmed said.
“Anything more?” he asked. What more can one say to President Tinubu and Nigerians?
“I heard your program. You were talking about the increase in these kidnappings and violent crimes all over the country.”
