Tinubu Has Lost Control Of Insecurity – Baba-Ahmed

The National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has said President Bola Tinubu has lost control of Nigeria’s worsening insecurity.

Naija News reports that Baba-Ahmed warned that the President’s handling of the security crisis could lead to public rejection if urgent action is not taken.

He spoke on Thursday during an interview on Arise News.

The PRP leader said Nigeria was facing a rapidly deteriorating security situation, with violent attacks and kidnappings spreading across the country.

“President Tinubu has no handle on escalating 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 a long time ago,” he said.

He said the abduction of children showed the depth of the crisis.

He further stated, “Every time children from generals to toddlers are stolen, every inch of Nigeria is now vulnerable to insecurity. Children, toddlers in school have been stolen.”

Baba-Ahmed accused the administration of failing to confront the reality of escalating violence. He said Tinubu and his inner circle appeared to be treating the insecurity crisis as normal.

“Everything that needed to have been said by the media, by civil society, by everybody, except of course the National Assembly, Tinubu himself and his tiny circle of supporters appear to believe that this is a problem that we can live with,” he said.

The PRP leader said the government had failed in its most basic duty of protecting lives and property.

“Now, President Tinubu has spectacularly failed to protect anybody. Again, like I said, every part of Nigeria is now vulnerable,” he said.

He warned that the country could face more attacks if urgent action was not taken.

Baba-Ahmed said, “We are in trouble. We haven’t been safe under him, and we are likely to be even more exposed to criminality between now and the elections.”

Baba-Ahmed said the PRP’s call for Tinubu’s resignation was not political but based on the worsening state of national security.

“We said everything else. And we say this with all sense of responsibility. President Tinubu should resign,” he said.

He added that Nigerians would reject the President if the current situation continued.

The PRP Leader stated, “If we project what he’s doing, how he’s performing between now and the elections, we don’t even need to wait. Nigerians will reject him.”

Baba-Ahmed said insecurity had become a defining national crisis that could no longer be excused.

He asked, “What else is there? What else is there to say to President Tinubu and to Nigerians?

“I listened to your programme. You dwelt extensively on the escalation of these kidnappings and violent crimes all over the country.”
