Stop Serving Nigerians Cocktail Of Empty Assurances; End Insecurity – PRP Tackles Tinubu
The PRP highlighted what it described as one of the country’s most horrifying waves of abductions in recent history.
The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has expressed deep alarm over the rapidly worsening security situation in Nigeria, warning that the nation is “in free fall.”
In a press statement released on Tuesday and signed by Falalu Bello, National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party, the party said, “In just a few days, the country has descended further into chaos, marked by brazen mass abductions, targeted killings, and coordinated terror attacks across several states, including Kebbi, Zamfara, Kwara, Kano, Bauchi, Yobe, Sokoto, Borno, and Niger.”
“What is unfolding is nothing short of a systematic assault on the sovereignty of our nation and the dignity of its people.”
The PRP highlighted what it described as one of the country’s most horrifying waves of abductions in recent history.
“Over 315 students and teachers have been forcefully abducted from St. Mary’s School in Papiri, Niger State — yet another brutal attack on our children, our future, and our collective hope,” the statement said.
The party added that the tragedy has been followed by “the kidnapping of 25 schoolgirls in Kebbi, the killing of a police officer and a vigilante in Patigi, Kwara, as well as five additional police officers in Bauchi. Furthermore, eight members of the Civilian Joint Task Force were killed, with three others abducted by terrorists in Gwoza, Borno State.
“In Yobe State, one policeman was killed in an attack by terrorists in Geidam. Additionally, four rice farmers were murdered in an attack by terrorists in Kwara State’s Edu Local Government Area.”
The party further condemned the killing of top security operatives, including Brigadier General M. Uba, warning that “the continued infiltration of terror infrastructure from Sambisa Forest to other regions — [exposes] a dangerous truth: Nigeria is steadily losing control of its internal security architecture.”
The PRP criticised statements claiming victory over insecurity, insisting that “for anyone to claim that ‘we are winning this war’ is to publicly embrace delusion, dishonesty, or complicity.”
The party described the situation as “not a temporary challenge; it is a national emergency. What confronts us is not just insecurity but a complete breakdown of intelligence coordination, operational capacity, and political will.”
According to the statement, schools have become “battlegrounds,” communities are “being emptied,” and security personnel are “hunted with impunity.”
The PRP warned that “terrorists now operate with precision, intelligence, and confidence — an indication of insider collaboration and institutional failure.”
The party also accused political leaders of inaction, saying, “Instead of decisive action, Nigeria is served a cocktail of empty assurances, superficial reforms, and endless political theatrics. While citizens live in fear, political leaders embark on needless foreign trips, indulge in petty politicking, and display a shocking disconnect from the suffering across the country. Rural dwellers are now making their own deals with bandits and terrorists simply to survive.”
On recent incidents, the PRP said that “while the emerging report of the release of victims from the recent attack and abduction of 37 worshippers in a church in Eruku, Kwara State may seem consoling, the report of about three persons killed during that attack and the trauma inflicted on the victims is a chilling reminder that even places of worship— symbols of peace and safety — are no longer spared from criminal invasion.”
The PRP called on the government to act decisively, warning, “This is not governance; it is a catastrophic dereliction of duty. The government must now respond appropriately to rescue other victims of these dastardly acts across the states, just as those in Eruku, Kwara State, have been freed.”
The party also issued several demands to tackle insecurity, including the immediate redeployment of nearly 100,000 policemen from VIP duties to fight insurgency and banditry, strengthening community participation in security efforts, prosecuting anyone aiding terrorists, and overhauling Nigeria’s intelligence and security frameworks.
“Whether these sustained attacks are part of an orchestrated attempt by external forces to destabilize Nigeria or a direct consequence of the government’s irresponsibility and failure to protect its citizens, the reality remains: the Nigerian state is failing in its most basic duty—securing lives and property.”
“The lives and livelihoods of our citizens are no longer valued, dignified, or prioritized. These systematic and incessant attacks must be unequivocally condemned and decisively stopped,” the PRP warned.
The party concluded by reaffirming its solidarity with victims, stating, “In line with Principle No. 1 of the PRP (The Values and Equality of Human Beings), our party stands firmly with the victims, their families, and all Nigerians yearning for peace and security. The lives of Nigerians being wasted daily are no less important than those of our leaders, their families, and cronies — many of whom are now relocating abroad for safety.”
This development comes amid apprehension in the country on safety and concerns on waves of kidnappings across different states.
