PRP Chairman Critiques Tinubu's Security Reforms

Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the chairman of the People's Redemption Party (PRP), expressed concerns regarding the sincerity of President Bola Tinubu's administration in addressing Nigeria's security issues. During an appearance on Channels Television's Politics Today, Baba-Ahmed stated that Nigerians have lost confidence in the federal government's commitment to tackling insecurity.

He argued that the country's problems extend beyond policing and require comprehensive restructuring across ethnic, ideological, and geographical lines. Baba-Ahmed criticized the government's approach to security reform as opportunistic and piecemeal, referencing the significant deterioration of the police system in Nigeria, which he attributed to deep-rooted institutional failures.

He emphasized that the proposed security measures appear politically motivated ahead of the 2027 general elections, rather than aimed at genuinely resolving major security problems. Baba-Ahmed urged the government to focus on comprehensive reforms that address the root causes of insecurity instead of adopting measures perceived as politically motivated.
