The National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has said he would work towards removing President Bola Tinubu from power in the 2027 general elections.
PrimeTimes Nigeria reports that Baba-Ahmed stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme.
The PRP chairman described Tinubu as “bad news” for Nigeria’s future.
“I will work to get Tinubu out of place because I think he is bad news for Nigeria’s future,” he said.
According to him, the PRP’s major agenda ahead of the next elections is to unseat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Our major agenda in the PRP is to unseat Tinubu. I’m not saying that only PRP can get Tinubu out of power, but we have a major contribution to make, and we’re looking for every legitimate opportunity,” Baba-Ahmed added.
He accused the Tinubu administration of worsening economic hardship and insecurity in the country.
Baba-Ahmed further stated, “He has messed up this country. He has made life miserable, more insecure. Nigerians are desperately unhappy. We know this for a fact.
“He knows it for a fact, unless they don’t tell him the truth, and they don’t tell him how the country is.”
Baba-Ahmed said opposition figures must unite and set aside selfish interests to defeat the APC in 2027.
“So, half the work has already been done. The rest of the work has to be done by us, the heavyweights.
“We have to find a way to pool our resources together, pool our energies together, and decide whether we can shun selfishness. We can reduce the quarrels over who gets what. The key issue is to have a change of government in 2027,” he said.
