As insecurity continues to cast a dark shadow across Nigeria, the Conference of United Political Parties (CUPP) has added its voice to the growing demand for urgent action from President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
In a strongly worded statement issued from Abuja, the opposition coalition expressed deep concern over the nation’s worsening security situation and economic challenges, urging the President to either demonstrate effective leadership or consider stepping aside if he is unable to deliver meaningful results.
The statement, signed by CUPP’s Acting National Chairman, Chief Peter Ameh, echoed a recent position taken by the Minority Caucus in the House of Representatives. According to Ameh, public office comes with responsibility and accountability, not privilege.
“In a sane clime, any elected official who refuses to produce results of good governance that will help make the lives of the people better should honourably resign,” he stated.
CUPP stressed that Nigerians are currently facing multiple hardships, including rising insecurity, economic strain, and declining living conditions. The coalition argued that citizens deserve a government that responds swiftly and effectively to their concerns.
The group maintained that President Tinubu must urgently address these pressing issues and provide visible evidence of progress. It noted that leadership requires practical solutions rather than promises.
“President Bola Tinubu and his administration must step up immediately to address the pressing issues affecting Nigerians. Where this responsibility is not being discharged effectively, the honourable path is resignation,” the statement read.
The coalition further called on the President to listen to the concerns being raised by citizens and political stakeholders across the country.
“We urge the President to heed this call and take immediate, visible steps to alleviate the suffering of citizens across the country,” CUPP emphasized.
Beyond its criticism, the group pledged to continue monitoring developments and speaking out whenever necessary in defence of the Nigerian people. Reaffirming its commitment to accountability and democratic governance, Ameh declared, “We will not hesitate to speak the truth in the best interest of the Nigerian people.”
The statement comes amid mounting pressure on the Federal Government following the Minority Caucus’s warning that “Nigeria is bleeding” and its call for a comprehensive overhaul of the country’s security architecture.
As concerns over insecurity and economic hardship continue to grow, many Nigerians will be watching closely to see how the administration responds to these renewed calls for decisive action.
