Abdul-Aziz Nai'ibi Abubakar, DG of Atiku's The Light Organization and a prominent member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), recently called on President Bola Tinubu to step down.
Abubakar, speaking via his official Twitter account, thinks that Tinubu ought to step down gracefully since Nigeria is too large and intricate for a leader to govern with merely regional influence.
He wrote, "Dear President Bola Tinubu, please resign. Nigeria is too big for a regional champion."
Political unrest in Nigeria has lately intensified as many regions vie for dominance over the nation. The word from Abubakar came at this tumultuous moment. Tinubu has faced criticism in recent months for his ministerial appointments, leadership style, and approach to pressing national concerns.
The calls for Tinubu's resignation are a reflection of the opposition party's growing displeasure with his leadership and, more broadly, of worries about the direction the country is taking.
Calling Tinubu a "regional champion" suggests that Abubakar believes the president lacks the support required to govern the nation effectively.
