The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has opposed the relocation of United States and French military bases to Nigeria, warning of the dangers of compromising the country’s sovereignty and security.

The Acting National Publicity Secretary of the PRP, Muhammed Ishaq, cautioned the Nigerian government this Monday against entering into any agreements that will lead to the establishment of foreign military bases on Nigerian soil.

Ishaq also expressed concerns about the economic implications of hosting foreign military bases, including the strain on Nigeria’s limited resources and the potential for increased dependency on foreign aid.

He emphasized the need for Nigeria to prioritize its internal security needs and strengthen its defense capabilities, rather than relying on foreign powers.
