APM's Ajadi Demands Tinubu's Resignation Over Insecurity

Olufemi Ajadi, the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) senatorial candidate for Oyo Central, demanded the resignation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on October 1, citing the Federal Government's inability to manage escalating insecurity. This demand followed the kidnapping of 19 prospective National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members who were attacked while traveling from Ibadan, Oyo State, to orientation camps in Abia and other states.

The incident occurred along the Owerri-Onitsha Road in Umunoha, Imo State. Ajadi condemned the kidnapping as unacceptable, emphasizing that these young Nigerians were on their way to serve their country.

He urged the President to prioritize the rescue of the victims, describing it as a national emergency. Ajadi expressed concern over ransom demands of N50 million per victim, totaling N950 million, which places a heavy burden on the victims' families.

He warned that if the corps members were not rescued, Tinubu should resign and not contest in the 2027 elections, stating that it was barbaric for the President to remain in office while citizens were in danger.
