President Bola Tinubu is under increasing pressure to resign as insecurity in Nigeria continues to worsen, with terrorists, bandits, and criminal groups reportedly responsible for killings and mass abductions across several states, including Kebbi, Kwara, and Zamfara.

The surge in violence has drawn condemnation from citizens and public figures alike, with many calling on the president to step down to make way for a leader capable of addressing the nation’s security challenges.

Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong took to X to demand Tinubu’s resignation, stating, “President Tinubu should tender his resignation and apologize to the country. As Commander-in-Chief, he is weak, clueless, and grossly incompetent. The killings and bloodbath can’t continue. Tinubu resign now.”

Popular actor and comedian Mr Macaroni also weighed in, noting, “Why should any part of this country be under terrorist occupation? In any civilized country, Tinubu should resign!”

Social media commentator Isaac Fayose, in a viral video, urged the president to step down, asking, “Dear President Tinubu, I think it is time to resign. You are not capable of ruling this country. How do you feel comfortable being president over a failed nation where Nigerians are kidnapped daily and genocide is happening everywhere?”

Similarly, Nigerian rapper Falz called on Tinubu to resign, criticizing the administration’s inability to protect citizens, saying, “You have consistently shown your unwillingness to protect the lives and property of our people despite pretending to care in the past. RESIGN NOW!”

The calls for resignation reflect growing public frustration over the government’s handling of the country’s escalating insecurity.
