A presidential aspirant of the Peoples Redemption Party in the 2027 general elections, Yakubu Mohammed Kingsley, has distanced himself from the party’s National Chairman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, over the latter’s call for President Bola Tinubu to resign over the country’s worsening insecurity.

Kingsley, in a statement personally signed and made available to journalists in Abuja on Sunday, said he did not support calls for the President’s resignation, insisting that Nigeria’s democracy provides constitutional processes for leadership transition.

The statement, titled “A Message of Hope to the Nigerian People: Nigeria Shall Rise Again,” urged Nigerians to focus on strengthening democratic institutions and preparing for the 2027 general elections.

“I do not support calls for the resignation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Nigeria’s democracy provides constitutional processes for leadership transition, and our focus should be on strengthening our institutions and preparing for the 2027 General Elections,” Kingsley said.
