Atiku’s aide calls for Tinubu to resign over alleged insecurity failures

 Media Adviser and spokesperson to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Mr Paul Ibe, has said that President Bola Tinubu should resign over what he described as the government’s failure to address insecurity across the country.   Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme on Tuesday, Ibe argued that the primary responsibility of any government is to ensure the security and welfare of its citizens.   According to him, Nigeria is less secure now than it was in 2023, citing figures which he claimed showed that 879 people had been killed, while nearly 300 others remained in captivity.   He described the statistics as alarming and said they reflected the scale of insecurity facing the country.   Ibe further stated that the government’s efforts to tackle the situation had not yielded sufficient results, stressing that the country could not continue with what he termed a “trial and error” approach to governance.   He said: “Let me tell you why President Tinubu needs to resign. The primary responsibility of government is security and welfare. Are we more secure now than we were in 2023? The answer is No.   “According to statistics, 879 people have been killed, and nearly 300 are in captivity. Those statistics are very frightening. That’s a snapshot of the pervasive insecurity that we have.   “The government’s efforts are not good enough. I mean, we can’t continue on this journey of trial and error. The truth of the matter is that Tinubu is incompetent and clueless.”

Atiku's camp has accused President Tinubu of failing in his duty to protect Nigerians, calling for his resignation due to ongoing insecurity and welfare concerns.

The Atiku aide also criticised ongoing discussions around the establishment of state police, alleging that efforts to push the proposal ahead of the 2027 general election are politically motivated. The post Why President Tinubu needs to resign — Atiku’s aide appeared first on Vanguard News.
