‘Nigerians living in lawless country’, PRP tackles Tinubu over insecurity

The People's Redemption Party (PRP) has criticized President Bola Tinubu's administration for its inadequate response to Nigeria's deteriorating security situation. In a statement, the party accused the government of failing to protect Nigerians and accused it of being indifferent to the suffering of citizens. Kwara, Niger, Benue, Kebbi, Zamfara, Sokoto, Kaduna, Borno, Plateau and Yobe were among the states named in the statement as being affected by attacks.

The PRP alleged that criminals were operating with impunity. The party lamented that the crisis was being handled with press releases and promises rather than by providing adequate security. The PRP expressed concern over the strain on security forces and local volunteers, stating that the insecurity was harming livelihoods and the economy of millions of Nigerians.

The party also accused the administration of prioritizing political patronage over addressing the security threats faced by citizens. Baba-Ahmed, the PRP's National Chairman, urged the president to take responsibility for the security crisis, emphasizing that the government needed to act urgently to prevent further loss of life.

This was critical as the current administration only had four months left before the general elections in May 2027.
