2027: Tinubu has run Nigeria aground, citizens don’t want to see him – Hakeem Baba-Ahmed

Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), has criticized President Bola Tinubu for steering Nigeria in the wrong direction. Baba-Ahmed's remarks come in response to Tinubu's statement that he wouldn't campaign in every state. During the APC Presidential Campaign Council inauguration in Abuja, Tinubu emphasized the need to focus on governance, given the pressing bills to be paid.

"You’ve warned me not to allow the rigour of the campaign to distract me from governance, I hear you. I am in full agreement with your decision. Nigeria needs more attention now," Tinubu stated. Baba-Ahmed, however, disagreed, tweeting that Nigerians weren't expecting to see Tinubu actively campaigning. He added that Tinubu's appointees would be seen "running around the country begging Nigerians to elect him again."

Baba-Ahmed concludes in his post on X, "Nigerians are not expecting to see him, nor are we surprised."
