A wave of anger is sweeping across Nigeria as calls for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s resignation grow louder amid the country’s spiralling security crisis. Despite repeated assurances from the Federal Government, deadly attacks by terrorists, bandits, and other criminal groups have continued unabated, claiming lives and displacing communities across multiple states.
Recent incidents of mass abductions and killings in Kebbi, Kwara, Zamfara, and neighbouring regions have intensified public criticism, with many Nigerians accusing the administration of failing to protect its citizens.
Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong, in a post on X, demanded that the president step down and offer an apology to Nigerians.
“President Tinubu should tender his resignation and apologize to the country. As Commander-in-Chief, he is weak, clueless, and grossly incompetent. The killings and bloodbath can’t continue,” he wrote.
Popular comedian and actor Mr Macaroni echoed the sentiment, arguing that leadership failure at such a critical time would have prompted resignation in any civilized nation.
“Why should any part of this country be under terrorist occupation? In any civilized country, Tinubu should resign!” he stated on X.
Social commentator Isaac Fayose also joined the chorus in a viral video, questioning how the president remains comfortable presiding over what he described as a failing state.
“Dear President Tinubu, I think it is time to resign. You are not capable of ruling this country,” he said.
Nigerian rapper and activist Falz further criticized the administration’s handling of the crisis, accusing the president of showing no real commitment to safeguarding lives and property.
“You have consistently shown your unwillingness to protect the lives and property of our people despite pretending to care in the past. RESIGN NOW!” he declared.
As insecurity worsens, public frustration continues to mount, placing mounting pressure on the presidency to respond decisively or risk further erosion of public trust.
