CUPP puts Tinubu on 90-day clock to end killings, warns of welcoming international aid

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has issued a stringent condition to the Federal Government, declaring it would be open to accepting international assistance to combat nationwide insecurity should the government fail to decisively address the ongoing wave of killings by armed groups.

Chief Peter Ameh, the National Secretary for CUPP, delivered this bold statement in Abuja on Sunday, responding directly to recent critiques of Nigeria’s worsening security climate, including comments made by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Chief Ameh stressed that the coalition’s position is clear: it condemns all acts of violence, regardless of who the victims are, emphasizing that what citizens truly want is the fundamental protection of their lives and property, irrespective of their “religious, ethnic, or political identity.”

Highlighting the devastating impact on communities, Ameh pointed out that the continued attacks on rural areas, resulting in the mass displacement of residents, demand immediate and organized action from the government. He asserted that the time for equivocation is over, stating: “The violence must cease without delay. Displaced persons should be able to return to their homes, those responsible for attacks must be held accountable, and communities must be secured.”

To reverse the trend, the CUPP laid out specific demands for President Tinubu. Ameh urged the President to direct the military and security agencies to significantly intensify and scale up their operations against armed groups across the entire country. This drive, he noted, requires the deployment of all necessary resources and intelligence assets to “dismantle the networks responsible for the attacks.”

Further outlining a clear path for accountability, Ameh proposed a demanding 90-day target for measurable progress in the fight against insecurity. This timeline, he suggested, should be complemented by “bi-weekly reports to the Presidency detailing operational achievements and constraints.” He also strongly reiterated the coalition’s opposition to negotiating with any criminal groups, insisting that security agencies must focus on robust, firm enforcement measures.

Ultimately, Ameh concluded by restating that the possibility of external intervention is directly tied to the government’s performance in protecting its citizens. He warned that if domestic efforts fall short, the door is open for foreign support. “Our appeal is for decisive action. If the government does not take the necessary steps, we would welcome any lawful support that helps to end the activities of these armed groups,” he confirmed.
