Former President Muhammadu Buhari allegedly resisted political pressure for Bola Tinubu to succeed him because he perceived Tinubu’s presidency as detrimental to Nigeria, according to Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP). Baba-Ahmed made these claims during a summit organized by the Northern Elders Forum.

Tinubu, he claimed, had brought Nigeria to its lowest point during his three and a half years in office. Baba-Ahmed urged Nigerians to prevent Tinubu’s re-election ambitions from superseding national interests. He alleged that Tinubu had taken the country to its lowest point and that every index of failure was evident during his administration.

Despite criticizing the current administration, Baba-Ahdam expressed confidence in Nigeria's resilience, suggesting that the country would overcome the hardships caused by Tinubu for the sake of future generations.
