Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has intensified criticism of President Tinubu's security record. The PRP national leader says worsening kidnappings and school abductions show clear leadership failure.
Speaking on ARISE News, Baba-Ahmed argued the president has lost control of rising violence across Nigeria. He stressed that no region remains untouched by criminal activity.
According to him, repeated government assurances ring hollow against mounting evidence of insecurity. Kidnappings, highway attacks, and school abductions keep climbing despite official promises.
"In a civilised democracy, President Tinubu's record on insecurity would have cost him his seat a long time ago," Baba-Ahmed noted. He believes the security situation warrants immediate removal from office.
Baba-Ahmed expressed alarm over abducted schoolchildren becoming routine news. What once shocked Nigerians now happens regularly across the country.
He warned that normalizing such crimes reveals the depth of Nigeria's security collapse. Authorities have failed to contain criminal groups, he said.
The PRP chieftain predicted things could worsen before the next general elections. Millions of Nigerians will face heightened criminal vulnerability during this period, he cautioned.
"Nigerians are likely to be even more exposed to criminality between now and the elections," he told reporters. Criminal elements will exploit the electoral season, he argued.
Baba-Ahmed called on federal authorities to declare insecurity a national emergency. Security agencies need better coordination and stronger equipment, he insisted.
According to him, bandits, kidnappers, and terrorists continue operating with impunity nationwide. Government action has been inadequate and poorly organized.
He defended the PRP's demand that President Tinubu resign immediately. Such calls aren't politically motivated, Baba-Ahmed stressed.
Rather, they reflect genuine worry about Nigeria's future and citizens' safety. The party's position mirrors public anger over persistent insecurity.
Baba-Ahmed maintained that ordinary Nigerians have lost confidence in government capabilities. Economic hardship compounds their frustration with failing security measures.
He urged national leaders to prioritize the country above political considerations. Collective action can restore security and stability, he believed.
Leaders must work together regardless of party affiliation, Baba-Ahmed emphasized. Nigeria's survival depends on putting national interest first.
His remarks reflect mounting pressure on the administration over security failures. Civil society groups and citizens continue demanding urgent reforms and stronger action.
Insecurity remains Nigeria's most pressing challenge as violence spreads relentlessly. Calls for effective security measures and decisive leadership keep growing louder.
