Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), has declared that opposition parties will collaborate and work towards removing the current government led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. At a G100 opposition summit in Abuja, Baba-Ahmed emphasized that the parties are not weak but share a common goal of defeating the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.
He stated, "We are here because we believe the fight to get this government out of power and to put one of us or all of us in power is absolutely imperative in this country."
Baba-Ahmed expressed confidence in the opposition's ability to defeat the APC if the parties unite, noting that no single opposition party could claim to have the capability to do so alone. He also highlighted that the six opposition parties represented at the summit are facing various existential threats, including legal challenges and attempts to weaken their structures. Despite these challenges, Baba-Ahmed assured that the opposition remains committed to replacing the current administration.
The PRP chairman called on Nigerians to support the opposition coalition, emphasizing that the parties are determined to remove the current administration in 2027. He reiterated that the opposition will pursue its political objectives through lawful and legitimate means, stating, "We are also committed to using all legal and legitimate means to get rid of this administration."
Furthermore, Baba-Ahmed criticized President Tinubu for his absence from Nigeria, alleging that he was abroad while facing questions about allegations related to his past in the United States. He also noted that Vice-President Kashim Shettima was outside the country, raising concerns about the leadership of Nigeria. The allegations concerning Tinubu’s past in the United States have been a topic of political debate, with U.S. records related to a 1990s investigation featuring in litigation and Freedom of Information Act requests.
Baba-Ahmed questioned the current state of governance in Nigeria, asking, "Who is in charge of the country now?"
