President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has come under the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) condemnation for its more focused on the 2027 polls rather than securing the lives and property of citizens.
The party accused Tinubu’s government of being “indifferent” to the killings of Nigerians and destruction of property in some parts of the country.
Falalu Bello, PRP national chairman, said in a statement that Nigerians deserved a government that works for them, not the one “preoccupied with 2027 political manipulations”.
Read the statement: “It is profoundly disheartening that while our people are being slaughtered, villages razed, and livelihoods destroyed, the Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC administration remain indifferent or unable to provide the security assurances promised to the Nigerian people.
“Instead of deploying effective measures to protect lives and property, the government seems much more preoccupied with political distractions; organising high-profile meetings, conferences, and endorsements for the 2027 elections, thus diverting attention from the urgent security needs of the nation.
“The failure of the APC government to address these crises decisively shows a lack of political will, strategic planning, and commitment to the safety of Nigerian citizens.
“PRP calls on the Federal Government to prioritise the security of the Nigerian people over political expediency. It is unacceptable that citizens are left defenceless while the government wastes critical time on political theatre.
“The lives of our compatriots; farmers, traders, women, and children, must be protected. We demand urgent, effective security measures, genuine commitment, and accountability from those entrusted with safeguarding Nigeria.
“The people deserve a government that works for their safety, not one preoccupied with 2027 political manipulations. Nigeria’s security challenges require immediate and sustained action; not empty promises or political posturing”.
Over 100 people were on June 14, killed in attacks by suspected herdsmen in Yelewata and Daudu communities in Guma LGA of Benue State.
The death toll from the massacre had reportedly risen to 200 by Sunday, triggering nationwide outrage.
