The Conference of United Political Parties (CUPP) has thrown its weight behind the House of Representatives Minority Caucus’ call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to either demonstrate effective leadership in tackling Nigeria’s worsening crises or resign from office.
In a statement on Friday, Peter Ameh, acting national chairman of CUPP, said the coalition fully endorses the position of the opposition lawmakers, who accused the Tinubu administration of failing to address worsening insecurity, economic hardship and growing public discontent.
The Minority Caucus had earlier delivered a scathing assessment of the administration, warning that Nigeria was approaching a dangerous tipping point as violent attacks, poverty and political tensions continue to escalate ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The lawmakers accused the government of placing undue emphasis on re-election politics while millions of Nigerians grapple with insecurity and rising living costs. They urged President Tinubu to suspend all 2027 political calculations and focus on governance, or step aside.
