The Conference of United Political Parties (CUPP) has thrown its weight behind the call by the House of Representatives Minority Caucus, urging President Bola Tinubu to urgently improve governance or consider stepping down, amid rising concerns over insecurity and economic hardship in the country.
The position was contained in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja by CUPP Acting National Chairman, Peter Ameh, who said leadership is a responsibility that must produce measurable results for citizens.
CUPP maintained that its position aligns with the recent remarks credited to the House of Representatives Minority Caucus, which had urged the administration to take decisive action in addressing Nigeria’s worsening socio-economic conditions.
The coalition argued that public office holders who fail to deliver on their mandate should not remain in office indefinitely, insisting that governance must translate into improved welfare for citizens.
“Leadership is not a right but a responsibility. Where this responsibility is not being discharged effectively, the honourable path is resignation,” CUPP stated.
The opposition coalition stressed that the administration of President Bola Tinubu must urgently confront challenges including insecurity, inflation, and the rising cost of living, which it said have continued to place heavy burdens on Nigerians.
According to CUPP, the current situation demands “immediate and visible steps” from the Federal Government to restore public confidence and improve living conditions across the country.
The group warned that failure to act decisively could further heighten public frustration, noting that Nigerians expect tangible results from those in power.
It further pledged to continue monitoring government performance and speaking out on issues affecting citizens, insisting that accountability remains central to democratic governance.
The latest development adds to growing political debate over the performance of the Tinubu administration, with opposition voices increasingly calling for urgent reforms across key sectors of the economy and security architecture.
