The national leader of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has declared his intention to actively campaign against President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 elections.
During an appearance on Channels Television’s ‘Sunday Politics’ program, Baba-Ahmed expressed strong criticism of the current administration, labeling Tinubu as detrimental to Nigeria’s progress.
He emphasized that ousting the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is achievable, pointing to widespread public dissatisfaction as a foundation for change.
“My mission is to remove Tinubu from office because I believe he poses a serious threat to our nation’s future,” Baba-Ahmed stated. “Our primary goal within the PRP is to unseat him. While we don’t claim to be the sole force capable of this, we are committed to playing a significant role through all lawful means.”
He accused the president of worsening the country’s conditions, citing increased hardship, insecurity, and widespread despair. “Nigerians are deeply unhappy, and the administration knows this unless they are shielded from the truth,” he added.
Baba-Ahmed called on opposition leaders to unite, set aside personal ambitions, and collaborate to achieve a government change in 2027. “Half the battle is already won due to public discontent. The remaining challenge is for us — the political heavyweights — to pool our resources and energies, overcome selfishness, and focus on the collective goal of a new government,” he concluded.
