In a recent statement on his official X account, Abdul-Aziz Nai’ibi Abubakar, Director-General of Atiku’s The Light Organization and a prominent member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has urged President Bola Tinubu to resign.

Abubakar called on Tinubu to step down honorably, citing Nigeria’s vastness and complexity as reasons why it requires a leader with national influence. “Dear President Bola Tinubu, please resign. Nigeria is too big for a regional champion!” Abubakar wrote.

Abubakar’s message comes amid heightened political tensions in Nigeria, with different factions vying for power. Tinubu has faced criticism in recent months for his leadership style and handling of national issues.
