Baba-Ahmed urges Tinubu to step aside.

Former presidential adviser Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has called on President Bola Tinubu to reconsider staying in office, saying stepping down may be in Nigeria’s best interest.

Speaking on Arise TV’s Daybreak on Monday, Baba-Ahmed said Tinubu’s two and a half years in power have fallen short of the promises made and the achievements credited to him. He argued that government claims about progress do not align with what ordinary Nigerians experience daily.

“There’s a huge gap between what the President says he’s doing and what people say they are living,” he said.

Baba-Ahmed also faulted Tinubu’s handling of security, saying the situation inherited from former President Muhammadu Buhari was already bad, but has now grown worse.

“President Buhari left a terrible security situation, and Tinubu doesn’t appear to have improved it; in fact, it seems to have deteriorated,” he added.

He suggested that the President’s age, long-standing ambition for the presidency, and lack of fresh ideas may be reasons he should consider stepping aside.

“If President Tinubu truly cares about Nigeria’s survival, I think he should call it quits,” he said.

Baba-Ahmed further stated that Nigerians should look for a more capable leader in 2027, whether from Tinubu’s party or outside it.
