PRP Critiques Tinubu's Re-election Bid Amid Insecurity

The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has publicly criticized President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, asserting that his administration has failed to effectively address widespread insecurity and poverty in Nigeria. In a statement issued on Thursday, PRP National Chairman Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed expressed that Nigerians continue to demand protection from kidnappers and killers, despite the All Progressives Congress (APC) initiating campaign activities for the 2027 general election.

He described the APC's recent rally in Kaduna as a staged event aimed at creating an illusion of popular support for the administration, while the reality reflects a poor track record. Baba-Ahmed highlighted that during the rally, residents were reportedly abducted in Kaduna, and rural communities across the country face ongoing attacks.

He condemned the killing of Sheikh Yahaya Masussuka in Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State, and called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of those responsible. Additionally, he raised concerns about President Tinubu’s health, urging proper medical management for effective governance.
