Former political adviser to President Bola Tinubu, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has stated why the nation’s leader should not seek re-election in 2027.
Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Baba-Ahmed said Tinubu has not demonstrated the hunger or drive needed to fix the country.
“I’m sorry, but I have to say this again. When I left his administration, one of the things I told many people was, ‘I wish President Tinubu would not run again in 2027.’
“First, he said his ambition was to be president, and he has now achieved that. He said ‘Emilokan,’ and he had his turn. But I don’t think he has run the country well.
“The Tinubu we used to know, the Tinubu with all the hunger and brilliant intelligence for scheming, hasn’t shown that same hunger to fix things.
“He should find someone within his party, a younger person, a healthier person, a more focused person and make him his candidate, he can,” Baba-Ahmed said.
