PRP Aspirant Disagrees on Tinubu Resignation

Engr. Yakubu Mohammed Kingsley, a presidential aspirant for the Nigeria — People s Redemption Party (PRP), publicly disagreed with the party's National Chairman, Dr. Baba Ahmed, over Baba-Ahmed's call for President Bola Tinubu to resign due to rising insecurity in Nigeria. Kingsley stated that he does not support the call for resignation, emphasizing that Nigeria's democracy provides constitutional processes for leadership transition and that the focus should be on strengthening institutions and preparing for the 2027 general elections. Kingsley, who is also challenging the PRP's May 25 primary election that produced Donald Duke as the presidential candidate, highlighted Nigeria's challenges of economic hardship, insecurity, and unemployment, but stressed the need for visionary leadership and institutional discipline rather than constitutional disruption. He drew on his 25 years of service at the NNPC to support his proposed solutions for national development.
