PRP Urges Nationwide Protests as Party Calls on Nigerians to Resist Tinubu’s New Tax Policies, Fuel Subsidy Removal, and Economic Hardship

The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has called on Nigerians to embark on nationwide, lawful, and peaceful protests against what it described as oppressive tax policies and economic decisions of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. In a New Year statement signed by its National Chairman, Falalu Bello, the party said Nigerians are already grappling with severe hardship caused by insecurity, hunger, poverty, and poor governance under the APC-led government.

The PRP strongly criticised the introduction and enforcement of new tax laws, accusing the government of ignoring public opposition and pushing policies that allegedly lack transparency and were altered at the point of gazetting. According to the party, the taxes are designed to benefit a few while further impoverishing ordinary Nigerians who are struggling to survive.

The opposition party also condemned the removal of fuel subsidy on Tinubu’s first day in office, noting that promised investments in social services have failed to materialise. Instead, it alleged that increased borrowing without visible improvements in social infrastructure has worsened the economic situation across the country.

Calling for collective action, the PRP urged Nigerians to organise protests and strike actions to resist unjust taxation and governance failures, stressing that mass unity remains the strongest tool against oppression. The party warned citizens not to be discouraged by political defections, describing such moves as self-serving and insignificant compared to the power of the people.

Looking ahead to the 2027 general elections, the PRP said sustained resistance should translate into political change, urging Nigerians to remain steadfast in their quest to end what it termed an incompetent and non-transparent administration. The statement concluded with a call for peaceful but determined resistance to reclaim Nigeria and build a system rooted in accountability, transparency, and citizen-focused governance.

PRP Demands Suspension of Nigeria’s Tax Laws and Calls for President Tinubu’s Impeachment Over Alleged Legislative Manipulation

The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has demanded the immediate suspension of Nigeria’s newly enacted tax laws, warning that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu could face impeachment if linked to alleged manipulations of legislation passed by the National Assembly.

The party also called for a thorough and transparent investigation to identify and punish responsible parties. PRP warned that judicial intervention would be sought if the matter is not addressed promptly, emphasizing that no government official, including the president, is above the law. The statement underscores the broader concern about executive impunity and its potential impact on Nigeria’s democratic institutions and economic stability, highlighting the need for accountability and legal oversight in governance.
