The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to resign, citing what it described as his failure to address the worsening insecurity across the country.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday, the party’s national chairman, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, said the federal government appeared overwhelmed by the nation’s security challenges and had failed in its primary responsibility of protecting citizens.

He said insecurity has continued to spread under the current administration, leaving Nigerians vulnerable to attacks by violent criminals regardless of their status, age or location.

“It is now beyond doubt that President Tinubu has failed woefully in discharging his foremost responsibility as President, which is securing the lives and property of Nigerians,” the statement said.

The party argued that no part of the country is immune from insecurity, alleging that criminal groups have expanded their operations while government efforts have yielded little improvement.

The PRP further expressed concern over the increasing targeting of vulnerable groups, including schoolchildren, warning against accepting the situation as normal.

The party accused the President of concentrating power at the centre without effectively using it to address the security crisis.

“Our President has failed the nation, and there is no evidence that he can improve on his record. He has amassed enormous powers but has failed to use them to protect Nigerians,” Baba-Ahmed said.

The PRP maintained that accountability is a key principle of democracy and argued that leadership should be judged by its ability to safeguard citizens.

While noting that voters could decide the administration’s fate in the 2027 elections, the party insisted that Nigerians should not have to wait while insecurity continues to claim lives. It therefore urged citizens to demand greater accountability and stronger action to tackle the country’s security challenges.
