Hakeem Baba-Ahmed Has Said “Tinubu Should Resign For Failing To Protect Nigerians
A national leader of the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, on Thursday challenged President Bola Tinubu to resign before the 2027 general elections in view of the high level of security in the country.
Baba-Ahmed, a former aide to Tinubu, said the President has failed to protect the lives and properties of Nigerians.
Featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show, the former presidential aide urged Nigerians to reject Tinubu in the 2027 election.
He said, “It’s clear Tinubu has no handle on the escalating menace. Everything that needed to be said by the media, National Assembly, and civil societies have been said, but Tinubu and his supporters believe that this is a problem that we can live with.
“They suggested it by their body language, everywhere they can and children are stolen, every inch of Nigeria is now vulnerable.
“In a civilized society, Tinubu’s record on insecurity should have cost him his seat a long time ago, it’s not too late to say that President Tinubu should resign. If you check what he’s doing between now and the election, we don’t even need to wait, we will reject him.”
The former presidential aide maintained that his call for Tinubu to resign is not confrontational and partisan.
“Do we need to wait until more children and the country is overrun by criminality? The position that Tinubu should resign, there is nothing wrong or partisan or confrontation in that statement.
“In a democratic setting, the President performs two basic tasks, one is to protect the citizens and the other is to protect the means.
“Now Tinubu has failed to protect anybody, again, like I said, every part of Nigeria is now vulnerable. Children and toddlers in school are being stolen, what do you say to a president who has failed?
“Sir you cannot run this country so please step down. It’s not a party thing, it’s not a confrontational thing but the right thing to do,” he added.
Edo North senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has playfully called out Senate President Godswill Akpabio for breaching truce over ‘massaging women’s legs’ comment.
At plenary on Thursday, Oshiomhole said he signed a truce of no more hostilities, stating that Akpabio breached the agreement by reverting to previous matters.
DAILY POST reports that Akpabio had mocked Oshiomhole over the viral video allegedly showing him massaging a woman’s leg aboard a private jet.
The Senate President stated that the Senate initially ignored the footage because it was suspected to have been generated using artificial intelligence, AI.
Recall that a video which surfaced on X on February 3, 2026, sparked widespread reactions after it allegedly showed the former Edo State governor massaging a woman’s leg inside a private jet, days later the lawmaker debunked the video stating that it was AI.
Joking over it at the plenary, Oshiomhole said, “I want to report to this house that the senate president and I we signed a truce of no more hostilities and senate president breach the truce by reverting to previous matter, the truce stands, you should not violate, I will not violate.”
Responding, Akpabio said, “Let me first of all apologize to Oshiomhole if whatever I said could in any way injure him or feel offended.”
