Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, a former political adviser to President Bola Tinubu, says he wishes the president would not seek re-election in the 2027 presidential race.
Baba-Ahmed said this during an interview on ‘Sunday Politics’, a programme on Channels Television.
According to him, Tinubu has not demonstrated the hunger or drive of someone committed to fixing Nigeria.
“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,” Baba-Ahmed said.
